Voting analysis

Nearly every one of Jon Ossoff's departures is affirmative. He is recorded eleven times supporting something his caucus opposed, and once declining an amendment it wanted — a lopsided ratio even among senators whose records lean one way.

Bills, resolutions and adopted amendments

One measure he backed at passage, on cloture and on two amendments that were adopted. Three joint resolutions he supported against the caucus. Two further bills he voted to pass. The single exception is an amendment from a Democratic colleague that he voted down.

A first-term senator from a state that has recently swung between parties, voting this consistently toward the majority position, is a legible political pattern rather than a set of unrelated calls.
