Voting analysis
Three of Nanette Barragán's five filings are about teeth. One would cover dental services under Medicare, one would establish a dental benefit under Medicaid, one would guarantee children access to medically necessary dental care. Three separate bills, three separate programmes, one gap.
The gap is real and structural: the mouth was left out of the main health coverage programmes when they were built, and it has stayed out since. Attacking it three ways in a single filing record is what a member does when the problem cannot be fixed in one place.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 50 currently sit at Introduced.
Health tops her classified subjects accordingly, with energy second. The remaining bills cover shipping and access to innovative treatments.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Nanette Barragán's cluster into: Health (15), Energy (9), Environmental Protection (6), Crime and Law Enforcement (4), Housing and Community Development (4), Taxation (2).
Where she broke ranks
Four departures only, and the fewest of any Californian written up here. She declined daylight saving. She backed a war powers resolution and the fuel retailing act, neither with her caucus. One amendment vote is the fourth.
