Voting analysis
Riley Moore is vice chair of the appropriations subcommittee that funds Congress itself — the legislative branch panel, one of the least visible assignments in the building and one of the few whose jurisdiction is the institution rather than the country.
One bill, seven amendments
Most of his first-term departures sit inside a single defence authorisation. He pushed seven separate amendments to it against his conference's position, of which one was adopted and the rest failed. Outside that vehicle he supported a labour contracts bill and the resolution bringing it up — the procedural vote as well as the substantive one.
