Voting analysis
Two facts about Marie Perez sit oddly together. She is among the House Democrats who most frequently vote against the caucus, and she is also one of the most present members of the chamber, missing almost nothing. Whatever drives the disagreements, absence is not the mechanism — she turns up and votes the other way.
Both directions on war powers
Most of her crossings follow the familiar pattern for a Democrat in a competitive seat: support for the defense authorization, for the Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act, for the Stop Insider Trading Act, for the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act, and for a resolution on federal payment fraud.
One vote runs against that reading. Asked whether to invoke the War Powers Resolution and pull American forces out of hostilities in Lebanon, she voted no while most Democrats voted yes — declining to constrain the executive on precisely the question where members of both parties have lately proved most willing to do so.
