Thomas R. Suozzi

Overview

Thomas R. Suozzi is a Democratic Representative from New York who has established himself as one of the more moderate members of his party caucus. His voting record reflects a pragmatic approach that occasionally diverges from the Democratic mainstream, as evidenced by his ideology score being significantly more conservative than the average House Democrat. Suozzi's legislative focus appears to be heavily concentrated on healthcare policy, where the majority of his recorded votes have occurred. His 74% approval rate on healthcare votes suggests general support for healthcare-related legislation while maintaining some selectivity. He has also shown consistent support for defense and education measures based on limited recorded votes in those areas. His voting patterns on procedural matters, such as consistently voting against ordering the previous question (a procedural motion typically used by the majority party), reflect standard partisan behavior on House floor procedures while his substantive votes show more independence.
