Overview
Ilhan Omar has served in the U.S. House representing Minnesota, compiling a voting record across healthcare, budget, defense, and other policy areas. Her votes reflect general alignment with Democratic Party positions, particularly on healthcare legislation where she has voted 'yea' on approximately two-thirds of measures. On budgetary matters, her voting pattern shows more selectivity, with support for less than half of budget-related measures that came to a vote. This suggests a more nuanced approach to fiscal legislation, potentially reflecting priorities around specific spending allocations or policy provisions within broader bills. Her limited recorded votes on defense matters show full support for the measures that came before her, while her agriculture and education votes similarly demonstrate consistent support for legislation in those areas.
Key Positions
- •Consistent support for healthcare-related legislation
- •Selective approach to budget and fiscal measures
- •Support for defense measures in recorded votes
