Voting analysis
One of Monica De La Cruz's bills enhances a cattle fever tick eradication programme. Ticks do not observe borders, and the programme in question exists because a livestock parasite long since driven out of the country keeps returning across a river. It is a quarantine-line bill, and it belongs to a specific stretch of ground.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 48 currently sit at Introduced.
The border, three ways
Two more filings work the same seam: assistance for the state's agricultural producers, and protection for farmers and ranchers on the southern border. Housing tops her classified subjects with immigration behind it — she is vice chair on two panels, one covering nutrition and foreign agriculture, the other housing and insurance. The remaining bills concern whistleblower protection and campus safety.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Monica De La Cruz's cluster into: Housing and Community Development (8), Immigration (7), Agriculture and Food (6), Finance and Financial Sector (5), International Affairs (5), Government Operations and Politics (4).
Where she broke ranks
Only five departures. Four are amendment votes, of which one carried. The fifth supported a rotorcraft safety bill that failed. Her record contains no disagreement with the conference on any completed bill that cleared the floor.
