Voting analysis

Housing tops Sam Liccardo's classified subjects, which is not what the named filings show — those run to an animal protection act, an ounce-of-prevention measure, and two acts on skills and innovation. The gap is the usual one on a first-term page: the subject counts come from everything filed, the list shows a handful, and with a short record the two need not agree.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Sam Liccardo's cluster into: Housing and Community Development (6), Armed Forces and National Security (2), Finance and Financial Sector (2), Animals (1), Economics and Public Finance (1), Government Operations and Politics (1).
