Voting analysis

Maria Salazar chairs the Foreign Affairs subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, and international affairs leads her filings. Her most distinctive vote runs against type for a Republican: she supported the Faster Labor Contracts Act on final passage while most of her conference opposed it.

Labour and immigration, against the grain

Alongside the labour bill she voted for a measure directing the Homeland Security Secretary on a designation question, again apart from her party. The rest of her departures are amendment votes on the State Department spending bill and another measure. Her overall rate is low — she leaves the conference rarely, and when she does it is on questions touching workers and migration.

All 9 roll calls where Maria Salazar voted against the House Republican majority.
