Suzanne Bonamici

Overview

Suzanne Bonamici has represented Oregon in the U.S. House since 2012, maintaining a voting record that aligns with progressive Democratic priorities. Her legislative focus appears to span healthcare, budget matters, and defense policy based on her voting activity. Her voting patterns show strong opposition to Republican-led procedural motions and legislation, as evidenced by her consistent 'NAY' votes on passage of bills and resolutions brought forward during periods of Republican House control. She has supported Democratic procedural alternatives, voting 'YEA' on motions to recommit with instructions, which typically represent the minority party's attempt to amend legislation. In healthcare-related votes, which comprise the largest category in her record, she voted 'YEA' approximately 45% of the time, suggesting selective support based on the specific content of each measure. Her defense-related votes show a higher rate of support at 67%, indicating potential areas of cross-party agreement on national security matters.
