Voting analysis

One of Mary Miller's bills follows a formula that turns up repeatedly across this site: less bureaucracy, better something. Hers is about family engagement. A Michigan Republican who chairs the education committee has two built the same way, and a North Carolina freshman in this same group has two more. Four members, one title template, applied to five different programmes.

Formulas like that are how a caucus signals a shared frame. The premise is identical in every case — that the obstacle is administrative rather than substantive — and the programme named afterwards is almost interchangeable.

1278
Bills cosponsored

Of the 50 most recent of those, 47 currently sit at Introduced.

Sunsetting a committee

Another of her filings would sunset an advisory committee on the records of Congress. Abolishing a small advisory body is the least glamorous form of institutional legislating, and one of the few that can actually be completed. The remaining bills concern farm and home ownership by China, a national motto, and immigration enforcement by local police.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Mary Miller's cluster into: Health (9), Education (6), Labor and Employment (6), Civil Rights and Liberties, Minority Issues (5), Agriculture and Food (4), Crime and Law Enforcement (4).

Where she broke ranks

Seven amendment votes on one spending measure, where she wanted changes her conference did not. Then noes on bills the conference passed: a housing act, an emergency conservation improvement, a marine conservation reauthorisation. She holds no committee leadership post.
