Voting analysis
One of William Timmons's filings is a proposed constitutional amendment allowing House vacancies to be filled temporarily. Its subject is what happens to the chamber if a large number of its members are killed at once — a question Congress has considered periodically since the Cold War and never resolved.
Of the 38 most recent of those, 33 currently sit at Introduced.
Proposing an amendment is the least likely legislative act to succeed and among the more serious to attempt. It requires two-thirds of both chambers and ratification by thirty-eight states, and almost none get near it.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. William Timmons's cluster into: Finance and Financial Sector (8), Government Operations and Politics (6), Congress (5), Armed Forces and National Security (3), Crime and Law Enforcement (3), Commerce (2).
The rest of the filings
A flag measure, improvements to a federal acquisition security council, a regulatory review act, and education for federal supervisors. Finance leads the classification, with government operations and Congress itself close behind.
Where he broke ranks
Four amendment votes across three vehicles, running both ways. Three completed bills he opposed at passage — territorial student access to higher education, tribal trust land homeownership, and the consolidated appropriations act. One measure he voted to pass that failed.
