Voting analysis

Morgan McGarvey is the only Democrat Kentucky sends to the House. That fact removes a section from this page: every other member with a same-state, same-party group gets their departure rate set beside that group's, and there is no group here to set it beside. The comparison is simply unavailable, so nothing is shown for it.

Four out, four in

His departures split evenly. He voted for a main street economic bill, a fuel retailing act and a war powers resolution his caucus did not back, and against daylight saving. Then four refusals on measures that passed anyway: a children's online safety act, a surveillance authority extension, a resolution on Iran, and the consolidated appropriations act.

An even split like this resists a summary. There is no wing he consistently sides with, which for the lone member of his party in a state is either strategy or the absence of anyone to caucus with locally.

What he legislates on

Defence and commerce tie at the head of his classified subjects. He is ranking member on the veterans subcommittee handling disability assistance and memorial affairs, and one filing sets up a task force on children who care for veteran relatives — a population that has to be defined before it can be counted. The rest cover health costs, a bill on business ownership after incarceration, and child safety.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Morgan McGarvey's cluster into: Armed Forces and National Security (7), Commerce (7), Health (6), Labor and Employment (5), Crime and Law Enforcement (4), Education (3).
