Voting analysis
Michael Guest chairs the House ethics committee — the panel that sits in judgement on other members — and also chairs a homeland security subcommittee on border enforcement. Two gavels, one of them the least sought after in the building.
Two amendments, opposite ways
His disagreements with the conference number two, and they cancel each other out in direction: he supported one amendment his party opposed, and opposed another his party supported. Both failed on the floor regardless of how he voted. Nothing else in his record separates him from the Republican position.
