Eric Swalwell

Overview

Eric Swalwell represents California in the U.S. House as a Democrat with a voting record that aligns with progressive policy priorities. His voting patterns show consistent opposition to Republican-led procedural measures, as evidenced by his regular 'nay' votes on ordering previous questions and agreeing to resolutions during the 2013-2014 period captured in the sample votes. His legislative activity spans multiple policy areas, with the heaviest concentration in healthcare-related votes. In this category, he voted 'yea' on 42% of measures, suggesting a selective approach to healthcare legislation rather than blanket support or opposition. His budget votes show a slightly higher affirmative rate at 56%. Swalwell's voting patterns on banking and finance issues (0% yea on 3 votes) and social security (0% yea on 1 vote) suggest opposition to specific proposals that came before him in these areas, though the small sample sizes limit broad conclusions. His education vote (100% yea on 1 vote) indicates support for at least one education-related measure.
