Voting analysis

One of Maggie Goodlander's filings would guarantee access to certain memorials on federal property during a government shutdown. Barricading a war memorial because the appropriation lapsed is a decision nobody defends and everybody has seen, and it happens because the statutes governing a shutdown do not distinguish between a payroll and a footpath. A bill about it is small, specific, and exactly the kind of thing a legislature exists to fix.

13
Bills sponsored
333
Bills cosponsored

Of all 13, 13 currently sit at Introduced.

Another would prohibit the closure of forest service research facilities. A third directs guidance on applications to alter or occupy hydropower projects — a procedural bottleneck most people would never encounter. Defence tops her short list of classified subjects, and her filed total is small, which a first term explains.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Maggie Goodlander's cluster into: Armed Forces and National Security (3), Public Lands and Natural Resources (2), Commerce (1), Congress (1), Economics and Public Finance (1), Government Operations and Politics (1).

Below her own delegation

New Hampshire seats two House Democrats, so the group figure here is effectively one colleague's, and hers is the lower of the two despite twelve departures. When the group is two people, the average is not really a benchmark — it is one colleague's figure wearing a different label.

Among the 2 Democrats in the New Hampshire delegation, the average rate of voting against the party majority is 6.4%. Maggie Goodlander is below that average at 5.5%.

Where she broke ranks

She declined the daylight saving measure and the children's online safety act; the chamber carried both. She crossed on five that carried: an end to aid paid for students never enrolled, broader veterans benefits, bail reporting, a violent offenders measure, and the fuel retailing act. Three amendment votes complete it.
