Voting analysis

Troy Downing voted against two separate surveillance extensions, one from each chamber, both times with his conference on the other side. Consistency across two bills on one subject is worth more than a single vote, because a lone no can be about timing or text and a repeated one is a position.

He also answered the fuel retailing bill differently on its two roll calls — against it when it passed, for it when it failed — joining the small set of members on this site whose record shows that reversal.

Water and forests

Finance tops his classified subjects, but the filings sit mostly on the land: a regional water authorisation, accelerated forest management, and a modernisation of tribal housing assistance and self-determination. Native American affairs and water resources both register in his top five, which for a Montana seat describes the map rather than the committee — and there is no committee leadership post recorded against his name.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Troy Downing's cluster into: Finance and Financial Sector (9), Native Americans (3), Energy (2), Public Lands and Natural Resources (2), Water Resources Development (2), Armed Forces and National Security (1).
