Voting analysis

Mike Kennedy is in his first term and has already accumulated more departures from his conference than most members manage in several. Freshmen usually vote the party line while they learn the building; he did not.

Six attempts at one bill

The bulk of the record is a single defence authorisation, where he supported six separate amendments his conference would not take, every one of which failed. Add a surveillance extension he opposed, a marine conservation reauthorisation he voted against, and a fuel retailing bill he declined, and the shape is a member repeatedly on the losing side of his own side.
