Voting analysis

One of Salud Carbajal's bills is titled for moral injury. The term is not a synonym for post-traumatic stress; it names the damage done by having participated in, witnessed, or failed to prevent something that violated one's own moral code. Recognition and restitution for it is a harder thing to write into statute than a disability rating, because the injury is not to the body and the evidence is testimony.

Whales, transit, skies

He leads the minority on Coast Guard and maritime transportation — the Mississippi Republican who chairs it appears elsewhere on this site. His filings match: a blue whales and blue skies act carrying a personal name, whose title points at ship strikes and air quality together; a transit authorisation for medium-sized cities; an aviation safety bill; and a commission on disaster risk and insurance.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Salud Carbajal's cluster into: Transportation and Public Works (11), Armed Forces and National Security (8), Housing and Community Development (5), Public Lands and Natural Resources (5), Government Operations and Politics (4), Crime and Law Enforcement (3).

Where he broke ranks

Five of his six departures are crossings, and all five passed: a main street economic bill, wider veterans benefits, bail reporting, the fuel retailing act, and a measure on American property held abroad. There are no refusals at all on his record — every disagreement with the caucus took the form of a yes.
