Voting analysis
Three of Pete Stauber's five filings are fraud bills. One targets fraudulent providers billing the taxpayer, one carries fraud in its acronym, and one names a country in its title. A record where the majority of visible output attacks a single failure mode is a record with a theme, whatever else it lacks.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 44 currently sit at Introduced.
A gold medal and a gavel that does not appear
The fourth is a small business payment measure. The fifth is a congressional gold medal act named for a moment in sport. He chairs the energy and mineral resources subcommittee at Natural Resources — mining and extraction policy — and nothing on the list touches it. Commerce leads his classified subjects instead, with transportation behind.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Pete Stauber's cluster into: Commerce (8), Transportation and Public Works (7), Government Operations and Politics (6), Public Lands and Natural Resources (6), Energy (5), Environmental Protection (4).
A labour crossing
He voted for a faster labor contracts act his conference opposed. One other Republican on this site made the same crossing, a New Yorker who chairs a Rules subcommittee. Two members backing a bill that promises to speed up labour contract negotiation, against their own conference, is a small crack in a reliably partisan surface.
Beyond that: three amendment votes, all failed, and a rotorcraft safety measure he supported that also failed.
