Voting analysis

Ryan Zinke's term count is several short of what continuous service since the middle of the last decade would produce. The arithmetic records a gap — a seat held, vacated and later regained — and every figure on this page runs across both stretches without distinguishing them.

First elected in 2015, now serving across 4 terms. Ryan Zinke falls in the veteran cohort.

Public lands, overwhelmingly

Public lands dominate his classified subjects, ahead of defence and Native American affairs. One filing would enhance recreation and tourism around a national park region; the rest cover allied defence sales, backpay for military personnel, and two carrying acronyms.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Ryan Zinke's cluster into: Public Lands and Natural Resources (17), Armed Forces and National Security (9), Native Americans (6), International Affairs (4), Taxation (4), Energy (3).
