Overview
Patrick Ryan represents New York in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat who has demonstrated a more centrist approach compared to many party colleagues. His voting record, though limited to 22 recorded votes, shows a legislator who does not vote strictly along party lines on all matters. Ryan has shown strong support for defense-related legislation, voting in favor on all recorded defense measures. His healthcare voting pattern shows more nuance, supporting approximately 47% of healthcare measures that came to a vote, suggesting he evaluates these bills on their individual merits rather than taking a uniform approach. On procedural votes, Ryan has shown willingness to support motions to recommit, which are often used by the minority party to amend or delay legislation. His opposition to certain passage votes and procedural questions indicates selective engagement with the legislative process.

- •Consistent support for defense and national security measures
- •Moderate approach to healthcare legislation with selective support
- •Support for certain agricultural measures
- •Opposition to some budget-related proposals
