Andrew R. Garbarino

Overview

Andrew Garbarino represents New York in the U.S. House as a Republican who frequently positions himself between his party's mainstream and the political center. His voting record shows a tendency toward moderation compared to most Republican colleagues, which may reflect the political dynamics of representing a district in a traditionally blue-leaning state. His voting patterns show strong support for defense-related measures (100% yea) and education legislation, while displaying more mixed positions on healthcare and budget matters. On healthcare votes, he has supported measures roughly half the time, suggesting case-by-case evaluation rather than strict party-line voting. Procedural votes in the sample consistently show party loyalty—voting against Democratic procedural motions (Previous Question, Resolutions) while supporting Republican procedural alternatives (Motions to Recommit). However, his support for certain substantive bills under suspension of the rules indicates willingness to back bipartisan legislation.
