Overview

Gabe Amo is a freshman Democratic Representative from Rhode Island who won a special election in late 2023, making him one of the newer members of Congress. With only 14 recorded votes, his legislative record is still developing, but early patterns show strong party loyalty on procedural matters and healthcare-related legislation. His voting pattern shows consistent opposition to Republican-led procedural motions, as evidenced by his NAY votes on ordering previous questions and agreeing to resolutions brought by the majority party. This is typical for minority party members who oppose the majority's legislative agenda. On defense matters, Amo has shown support for bipartisan measures, voting YEA on the defense-related bills that came to a vote. His healthcare voting record shows more selective support, with a 30% approval rate suggesting he has opposed certain healthcare measures while supporting others.

Key Positions

  • Opposes Republican-led procedural measures in the House
  • Supports certain bipartisan defense legislation
  • Selective approach to healthcare legislation, opposing some measures
  • Opposes Republican budget proposals
  • Aligns with progressive Democratic positions on most votes
