Voting analysis

Yassamin Ansari voted against a resolution reaffirming Iran as the largest state sponsor of terrorism, and separately filed a bill providing temporary immigration relief for Iranians. Those two facts belong together on the page, because read apart either one misleads.

540
Bills cosponsored

Of all 32, 32 currently sit at Introduced.

A position that distinguishes a government from the people governed by it is a common one in foreign policy and a difficult one to express in a roll call, where the only options are yes and no. The filing is the part of the record that carries the distinction; the vote is not.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Yassamin Ansari's cluster into: Health (6), Immigration (6), International Affairs (4), Energy (2), Government Operations and Politics (2), Housing and Community Development (2).

The rest of a first-term record

Her other departures refuse measures her caucus helped pass: the daylight saving bill, children's online safety, a surveillance renewal, retail crime enforcement, banking deposit rules, spending on veterans facilities, and the omnibus. Two run outward — a war powers resolution, and a fuel retailing bill that lost.
