Overview
Jerry Moran has represented Kansas in the U.S. Senate since 2011, after previously serving in the House of Representatives. His legislative record reflects priorities common to representatives of agricultural states, with strong support for farming interests and defense spending. Senator Moran's voting patterns show particular engagement with healthcare policy, where he has cast the most votes of any category in the analyzed record. His 55% 'yea' rate on healthcare votes suggests a nuanced approach to this complex policy area rather than strict partisan voting. His strong support for defense measures (71% yea) aligns with traditional Republican priorities, while his agricultural voting record (64% yea) reflects Kansas's significant farming economy. Notably, his banking and finance votes show the most deviation from typical patterns, with only 17% 'yea' votes in that category.
