Voting analysis

Scott Fitzgerald chairs the judiciary subcommittee covering the administrative state, regulatory reform and antitrust — the panel concerned with how much authority agencies hold and how they use it. Finance leads what he files, and the two interests meet in most of the bills.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Scott Fitzgerald's cluster into: Finance and Financial Sector (14), Crime and Law Enforcement (9), International Affairs (6), Commerce (5), Government Operations and Politics (3), Taxation (3).

Of the 50 most recent of those, 46 currently sit at Introduced.

The filings

Simplification of interstate commerce rules, a student measure, combatting money laundering in cyber crime, sustainable homeownership, and home construction for working families. Regulation and housing supply account for four of the five.

Where he broke ranks

Eight of his ten departures are amendment votes, and he took no single line within them — sometimes for changes his conference declined, sometimes against ones it wanted. The two remaining are finished bills he opposed at passage: fuel retailing, and higher education access for territorial students. He did not miss a roll call.
