18 House Republicans voted with Democrats to send aid to Ukraine.

We pulled every one of their voting records. The median defection rate is 1%. Most of these 18 are barely above it.

For Gregory Murphy (NC-3), this was the only time he voted against his party all year.

The November congressional ballot starts taking shape today. Federal primaries are scheduled in at least CA, IA, MT, NJ, NM, and SD. The winners matter, but so do the records underneath: uncontested races, incumbent challenges, open seats, turnout, and competitive House races this fall.

H.R. 6047 passed the House on May 21, 235-179.

A headline is not a vote.
A quote is not a bill.
A bill is not a law.

Congress leaves a public record. PollBrief starts there.

Memorial Day asks for more than a long weekend.

It asks us to remember what was given for this country, and to take seriously the responsibility of citizenship.

PollBrief follows the official record because self-government depends on citizens who know what happened.
