Jimmy Gomez

Overview

Jimmy Gomez is a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California with 503 recorded votes in this dataset. His voting record reflects strong alignment with progressive Democratic priorities across healthcare, labor, and social safety-net legislation, while frequently opposing Republican-sponsored budget resolutions, energy deregulation measures, and immigration enforcement bills. On healthcare, Gomez has been one of the more active voters in the dataset, supporting 80% of healthcare-related measures that came to the floor, including efforts to protect Medicaid and lower insurance premiums. In contrast, he opposed the large majority of budget resolutions and appropriations bills (voting yea only 20.7% of the time), which in the current Congress have been authored primarily by the Republican majority. Gomez shows a pattern of supporting veterans' care and some bipartisan defense measures while opposing broader defense authorization packages. On environmental and energy policy, his low yea rate (35.3%) largely reflects opposition to measures that would roll back environmental regulations, such as congressional disapproval resolutions targeting EPA rules. He voted in favor of water resource development and ratepayer protection measures. His voting in areas like immigration (25% yea), housing (12.5% yea), and criminal justice (30.8% yea) suggests consistent opposition to the majority party's legislative approach in these areas. Meanwhile, he has been strongly supportive of labor-related measures (80% yea) and education legislation (63.6% yea).
