Voting analysis

Mike Ezell holds two subcommittee posts and both of them face the water: vice chair on water, wildlife and fisheries at Natural Resources, and chairman of Coast Guard and maritime transportation. A Gulf Coast district produces a Gulf Coast portfolio, and this one is unusually literal about it.

Cranes, corrosion, offshore

A tax credit for port cranes. A pilot programme putting a Coast Guard corrosion control team in the field. An offshore parity measure. These are not headline bills and were never meant to be — they are the maintenance and equipment layer of a working port economy, filed by the member who chairs the panel that oversees it.

One title appears twice on the list below. That is the same measure showing up in two forms rather than a duplicate record, and it is worth flagging so the repetition does not read as an error.

424
Bills cosponsored

Of all 43, 43 currently sit at Introduced.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Mike Ezell's cluster into: Public Lands and Natural Resources (8), Crime and Law Enforcement (7), Transportation and Public Works (5), Emergency Management (4), Government Operations and Politics (4), Energy (3).

Where he broke ranks

Six amendment votes, every one of which failed, plus a marine conservation reauthorisation he opposed and his conference passed. That last one is the odd note: the member who chairs maritime transportation voting against a marine conservation bill. The record shows the vote and not the reason.
