Voting analysis
Two of Tim Walberg's bills share a formula. One is titled for less bureaucracy and better student aid; the other for less bureaucracy and better workforce development. The same premise applied to two programmes, filed as two bills — which tells you the premise came first and the programmes were selected to fit it.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 43 currently sit at Introduced.
The committee, five ways
He chairs Education and Workforce, and labour tops his classified subjects with education behind it. That committee is unusually well represented on this site: its ranking member, two of its subcommittee chairs and one of its subcommittee ranking members all have pages here. What the five have in common is not their filing volume, which varies enormously, but their departure rates — every one of them sits in the lower reaches of their party's range.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Tim Walberg's cluster into: Labor and Employment (9), Education (7), Energy (7), Health (5), Science, Technology, Communications (5), Armed Forces and National Security (3).
The other named filings are a stronger workforce act, one carrying an acronym, and an aquatic invasive species control measure — the last belonging to the lakes rather than to the gavel.
Nothing but amendments
All five of his departures are amendment votes, three of them on a single measure. Two carried and three failed. No completed bill appears anywhere in the record — he has never, in the window counted here, voted against his conference on something that reached final passage.
