Voting analysis

Suzanne Bonamici leads the minority on the early childhood and elementary education subcommittee, and her filings stay inside that remit with unusual discipline. A grandfamilies support bill, a child care measure written against detention, and a resolution disapproving a federal rule on child care flexibility — three of five, all on the care and schooling of young children.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Suzanne Bonamici's cluster into: Education (8), Health (6), Agriculture and Food (4), Families (4), Housing and Community Development (4), Labor and Employment (4).

The two that stray

Senior hunger is the other end of the same lifespan. The last one is stranger and more specific: a prohibition on the National Science Foundation spending money to scale back or shut down the instruments of the Ocean Observatories Initiative. It is a bill to stop a decommissioning, which is about as narrow as legislating gets, and it belongs to a coastal Oregon district rather than to the committee.

Where she broke ranks

Seven refusals and one crossing. She voted no on daylight saving, a children's online safety act, retail crime enforcement, a shrimping bill, a surveillance renewal, an Iran resolution and the consolidated appropriations act — every one of which passed regardless. The single crossing went to a war powers resolution that failed.
