Voting analysis

Two of Pat Harrigan's filings are advanced-energy bills: next-generation geothermal research, and a modification of investment credit rules for nuclear facilities. Both are the kind of measure usually associated with members who talk about climate, filed here by a freshman whose voting record sits well to the right of his conference. Energy technology has stopped mapping cleanly onto party.

Bills sponsored
309
Bills cosponsored

Of the 28 most recent of those, 28 currently sit at Introduced.

Crime tops his classified subjects, with defence behind. The remaining bills cover rural safety, concealed carry for special operations personnel, and one carrying an acronym.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Pat Harrigan's cluster into: Crime and Law Enforcement (7), Armed Forces and National Security (6), Taxation (3), Transportation and Public Works (3), Immigration (2), International Affairs (2).

Where he broke ranks

Four amendment votes where he wanted changes the conference did not. Then a run of noes on bills his own side passed: a breast cancer education reauthorisation, a daylight saving measure, a travel bill, a weatherising and terrorism readiness act, a children's online safety act, and a marine conservation reauthorisation.

The children's online safety vote puts him among a small number of Republicans on this site who declined that bill. The same no appears elsewhere as a refusal from the Democratic left, which is a caution against reading a tally as a position.
