Voting analysis

Rosa DeLauro leads the minority on the full Appropriations Committee and on its labour, health and education subcommittee. When the consolidated spending act came to the floor, she voted for it and most of her caucus voted against. The senior Democrat on appropriations backing an appropriations package is not a surprising position — it is arguably the position her job describes — but it put her on the opposite side from colleagues who treated the same bill as a thing to refuse.

The other six

She also crossed on cashless bail reporting, on a fuel retailing bill that failed, and on a war powers resolution that failed. She declined a daylight saving measure and a children's online safety act, both of which passed. One amendment vote completes the set.
