Voting analysis
Emergency management leads Troy Carter's classified subjects, and one of his filings simply appropriates money to the disaster relief fund. That fund runs out during bad years and gets topped up by act of Congress, which means a member from a coastal state spends part of every cycle asking for the same thing again. It is not a policy proposal; it is a bill for the money.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Troy Carter's cluster into: Emergency Management (8), Health (6), Commerce (5), Agriculture and Food (4), Transportation and Public Works (4), Armed Forces and National Security (3).
Of the 50 most recent of those, 48 currently sit at Introduced.
The remaining filings cover state offices of women's health, Medicaid outreach, preservation reporting for homeland security capabilities, and one carrying a personal name.
Where he broke ranks
Three departures, every one a crossing his caucus withheld: fuel retailing, a measure on American property held abroad, and police de-escalation funding. All three passed.
