Voting analysis
One of Mark Amodei's bills would impose a duty on sheep and lamb products imported from two southern-hemisphere countries. Tariff bills naming a single commodity and specific countries of origin are rare, and they generally come from a member whose producers are being undercut by exactly that trade. It is protectionism at the scale of one animal.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 48 currently sit at Introduced.
The homeland security bill, twice
He chairs the homeland security appropriations subcommittee, and its annual bill shows up under his name in two consecutive editions — the filing signature every spending chair on this site carries. The remaining two entries are an airport infrastructure measure and an economic development and conservation act for the northern part of his state.
Public lands dominate his classified subjects by a very wide margin, which is what representing a state that is mostly federally owned produces, and which his committee post does nothing to explain.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Mark Amodei's cluster into: Public Lands and Natural Resources (19), Finance and Financial Sector (4), Native Americans (4), Armed Forces and National Security (3), Environmental Protection (3), Energy (2).
No delegation comparison
Nevada sends exactly one Republican to the House — him. The delegation figure that appears further down most pages on this site needs at least two members of one party from one state to mean anything, and here there is only the one, so the section does not appear. That is a fact about the state's map, not about how he votes.
Where he broke ranks
Four times, every one an amendment vote, every one unsuccessful, and in each he was a no where his conference was a yes. Two of the four were on the same measure. There is no completed legislation anywhere in his departure record.
