Voting analysis
Zoe Lofgren is ranking member of the Science, Space and Technology Committee, and immigration is what she legislates on. It leads her classified subjects at roughly twice the count of science, which sits second. Sixteen terms of filing have produced a record whose centre of gravity is nowhere near her committee.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Zoe Lofgren's cluster into: Immigration (17), Science, Technology, Communications (8), Government Operations and Politics (6), Commerce (2), Education (2), Emergency Management (2).
A statute from the nineteen-twenties
The first bill on her list would renew provisions of an immigration act passed in the nineteen-twenties. Legislation that old survives in force through periodic renewal of specific sections, and a bill to renew them is a maintenance act on a nearly century-old piece of law. A separate filing would guarantee children a hearing in immigration court.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 47 currently sit at Introduced.
The science post does surface, though: two of the five concern artificial intelligence — a voluntary consumer disclosure pilot, and a workforce trust measure. The last is a bankruptcy venue reform, which is about where a company gets to file rather than what it owes.
Where she broke ranks
Two amendment votes. A daylight saving measure and the year's spending package that she voted against and her caucus voted for, both of which passed. And a bill on American property held abroad that she supported and her caucus did not.
