Voting analysis
Farm and food subjects head Mark Alford's classified filings, and not one of the five bills listed below is about agriculture. They cover financial protection for federal employees, labelling accuracy, strategic asset protection, online accessibility, and emergency transportation for veterans. The aggregate and the recent slice are describing different halves of the same career.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Mark Alford's cluster into: Agriculture and Food (11), Commerce (8), Armed Forces and National Security (7), Government Operations and Politics (5), International Affairs (5), Congress (3).
Of the 50 most recent of those, 49 currently sit at Introduced.
Two gavels, two directions
He is vice chair of the appropriations subcommittee for military construction and the veterans department, and chairman of the small business panel on oversight, investigations and regulations. The veterans transportation bill belongs to the first post. Nothing in the list belongs to the second, which is normal for an oversight panel — investigating is not a thing you introduce bills to do.
Where he broke ranks
Six amendment votes, two of which carried. One completed bill: he opposed higher education access for students from the territories, and his conference passed it. That single vote is the only place in his record where he parted from the conference on a measure that cleared the floor.
