Here’s a look at how Colorado members of Congress voted over the previous week.

Along with this week’s roll call votes, the House also passed, by voice vote, a bill (H.R. 189), to eliminate the general office space leasing authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

House votes

AMTRAK EXECUTIVE PAY >> The House has passed the Amtrak Executive Bonus Disclosure Act (H.R. 192), sponsored by Rep. David Rouzer, R-N.C., to require public disclosure by Amtrak of both salary and bonus pay to its senior executives. Rouzer said requiring pay disclosure on Amtrak’s website would mean “providing passengers, employees, and taxpayers with transparency regarding how their tax dollars are being spent.” The vote, on Jan. 13, was unanimous with 407 yeas.

YEAS: DeGette D-CO (1st), Crank R-CO (5th), Crow D-CO (6th), Neguse D-CO (2nd), Evans (CO) D-CO (8th)

NOT VOTING: Boebert R-CO (4th), Pettersen D-CO (7th)

MANAGING DISASTER ASSISTANCE >> The House has passed the Federal Disaster Assistance Coordination Act (H.R. 152), sponsored by Rep. Mike Ezell, R-Miss., to have the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) work with other federal agencies on a plan for improving the collection of information from people and groups seeking disaster assistance. Ezell said the bill, by removing repetition from the application process, was “a crucial step forward toward achieving a more effective disaster recovery system that prioritizes the needs of Americans and ensures they receive the help in a timely manner.” The vote, on Jan. 13, was 405 yeas to 5 nays.

YEAS: DeGette, Crank, Crow, Neguse, Evans

NOT VOTING: Boebert, Pettersen

DISASTER AID TRANSPARENCY >> The House has passed the Post-Disaster Assistance Online Accountability Act (H.R. 153), sponsored by Rep. Mike Ezell, R-Miss., to require the regular posting online of information about the disaster aid a given federal government agency has been providing. Ezell said the requirement “ensures the public can track recovery efforts in real time and understand how resources are being allocated. This helps communities, local governments, and organizations involved in recovery make more informed decisions.” The vote, on Jan. 14, was unanimous with 426 yeas.

YEAS: DeGette, Crank, Boebert, Crow, Neguse, Evans

NOT VOTING: Pettersen

GENDER AND SCHOOL ATHLETICS >> The House has passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act (H.R. 28), sponsored by Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla. The bill would deny federal financial aid to schools that allow males to participate in athletic events designated for females. A person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth would be the sole two factors for determining male and female status. Steube said: “Parents don’t want biological men in locker rooms with their daughters, nor do they believe it is fair that a male could compete with women in female athletics.” A bill opponent, Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., said: “Transgender students, like all students, deserve the same opportunity as their peers to learn teamwork, find belonging, and grow into well-rounded adults through sports.” The vote, on Jan. 14, was 218 yeas to 206 nays, with 1 voting present.

NAYS: DeGette, Crow, Neguse

YEAS: Crank, Boebert, Evans

NOT VOTING: Pettersen

FEDERAL AID TO UTILITIES >> The House has passed the Promoting Opportunities to Widen Electrical Resilience Act (H.R. 164), sponsored by Rep. Val T. Hoyle, D-Ore. The bill would authorize federal assistance to electric power utilities for reducing hazards and repairing damage from storms and other disasters. Hoyle said: “This bill maximizes FEMA’s resources and helps communities protect critical infrastructure, leading to lower costs for utilities and families in the wake of future disasters.” The vote, on Jan. 15, was 419 yeas to 2 nays.

YEAS: DeGette, Crank, Boebert, Crow, Neguse, Evans

NOT VOTING: Pettersen

GENDER VIOLENCE AND ILLEGAL ALIENS >> The House has passed the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act (H.R. 30), sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C. The bill would make any sex offense by an illegal alien grounds for deportation of that person, and bar from legal admission to the U.S. any foreigner who has committed a sex crime or a domestic violence or child mistreatment crime. Mace said: “One woman, one child victimized by one illegal alien is one too many. They have no right to be here.” An opponent, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said: “This bill is so poorly drafted that it would result in extremely harsh and unintended consequences, including the removal of survivors of domestic violence.” The vote, on Jan. 16, was 274 yeas to 145 nays.

NAYS: DeGette, Crow, Neguse

YEAS: Crank, Boebert, Evans

NOT VOTING: Pettersen

TAXES AND TAIWAN >> The House has passed the United States-Taiwan Expedited Double-Tax Relief Act (H.R. 33), sponsored by Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., to change tax rules for Taiwanese individuals and businesses earning income in the U.S. Smith said the bill, by establishing a bilateral income tax agreement with Taiwan, would help both it and the U.S. boost supply chain security, promote domestic semiconductor and chip manufacturing capacity, and generally protect U.S. military and economic security. The vote, on Jan. 15, was 423 yeas to 1 nay.

YEAS: DeGette, Crank, Boebert, Crow, Neguse, Evans

NOT VOTING: Pettersen

Senate votes

CRIMES AND ALIEN DEPORTATION >> The Senate has approved an amendment sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, to the Laken Riley Act (S. 5), to include assault of a police officer among those crimes that subject illegal aliens to detention and deportation. Cornyn said the amendment would “ensure that illegal migrants who commit crimes against the men and women in blue are swiftly detained so they can be removed from our country.” The vote, on Jan. 15, was 70 yeas to 25 nays.

YEAS: Bennet D-CO, Hickenlooper D-CO

STATE IMMIGRATION LAWSUITS >> The Senate has rejected an amendment sponsored by Sen. Christopher Coons, D-Del., to the Laken Riley Act (S. 5), that would have removed a bill provision authorizing state lawsuits against the federal government for failing to adequately enforce immigration laws. Coons said keeping the provision could cause chaos in immigration enforcement “from having a raft of lawsuits brought by state attorneys general in courts all over the country testing and challenging almost literally every detention decision.” The vote, on Jan. 15, was 46 yeas to 49 nays.

YEAS: Bennet, Hickenlooper
