Overview

Kevin Mullin represents California in the U.S. House as a Democrat who tends toward the progressive side of his party. With a relatively limited voting record of 17 votes on file, he appears to be a newer member still establishing his legislative profile. His voting patterns show strong party discipline, consistently voting against Republican procedural motions (such as Previous Question votes and certain resolutions) while supporting Democratic priorities. He has shown willingness to support some bipartisan measures, as evidenced by his 'yea' votes on suspension bills, which typically require two-thirds majority and often represent less controversial legislation. Mullin's voting record spans healthcare, agriculture, budget, and defense issues, though the limited sample size makes it difficult to draw comprehensive conclusions about his policy priorities. His 100% support rate on recorded defense votes and mixed positions on other categories suggest a nuanced approach to individual bills rather than rigid ideological adherence across all policy areas.

Key Positions

  • Votes consistently with Democratic Party on procedural matters
  • Supported defense-related legislation in recorded votes
  • Opposed Republican budget proposals
  • Supports bipartisan suspension bills requiring supermajority
