Voting analysis

Marcy Kaptur has served since the early nineteen-eighties and carries one of the largest cosponsorship totals recorded on this site. She is also, at that length of service, among the more frequent defectors on her side of the House.

First elected in 1983, now serving across 22 terms. Marcy Kaptur falls in the veteran cohort.

509
Bills sponsored
10223
Bills cosponsored

Of the 50 most recent of those, 49 currently sit at Introduced.

Almost all of it is fraud and crime

Her departures have a subject, which is rare at this volume. She voted to pass a bill against insider trading, a resolution condemning those defrauding the government, a bill stopping fraudulent payments, a fraud prevention and accountability act, and a measure on aid claimed for students who do not exist. Alongside those sit crossings on child protection, cashless bail reporting and violent offenders.

Nearly every one is a vote for a Republican-carried bill about money taken dishonestly or crime gone unpunished. Members with this many departures usually scatter; hers converge.
