Voting analysis
Nick LaLota backed a labour contracts bill, then voted twice more for the resolution allowing it onto the floor. He also supported a Ukraine support bill and a rotorcraft safety measure that failed. Four of his eleven departures are votes to advance things his conference would not.
The rest is amendment work
The remainder are amendment votes across three spending vehicles, mostly declining changes his party wanted. None of them survived. A record split between public crossings on named bills and quiet no votes during amendment is common among members from districts their party does not comfortably hold.
