Cross-party cosponsoring how it’s measured
0%
0 of the 2 bills they cosponsored were introduced by another party
Bipartisanship counts only the bills we’ve imported so far, which are those a recorded vote was about.
How they voted by issue area
Each vote counts in every issue area its bill has. A Yea on a procedural vote or motion doesn’t mean support for the bill. How we count these
