Voting analysis

One of Shri Thanedar's bills concerns the integrity of acquisition documentation at the homeland security department. He is ranking member of that department's oversight, investigations and accountability subcommittee. It is paperwork about paperwork — a bill requiring that the records of what the government buys be kept properly — and it is exactly the kind of measure an oversight post produces when the post is taken seriously.

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

Health and immigration

Immigration and taxation tie at the top of his classified subjects. The other named bills run to health and consumer questions: an environmental health workforce measure, health disparity zones, protection for passengers against discrimination, and protection of customer property.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Shri Thanedar's cluster into: Immigration (7), Taxation (7), Health (6), Commerce (5), Armed Forces and National Security (3), Congress (3).

Where he broke ranks

Three yeses the caucus withheld — an expansion of veterans benefits, cashless bail reporting, fuel retailing — and two noes it wanted, on a children's online safety act and a surveillance extension. All five passed. One amendment vote is the sixth.

Splitting evenly between crossing and refusing, with everything passing regardless, is the most common shape a departure record takes here. It says the member is not anchored to a faction so much as voting item by item.
