Research candidates

The Daily Herald endorsed John Booras instead of the incumbent Rep. Delia Ramirez in the House 3rd District race. Here is what I found after some research of my own.

Use this link — clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023144 — to access a list of how House members voted on HR1093. The bill strengthened a security alliance between Australia, the U.S. and U.K. Rep. Ramirez was one of four no votes. Bill HR2789 strengthened cooperation between the U.S., Mexico and Central American countries related to fentanyl trafficking and other matters. There were 368 yes votes and Rep. Ramirez was one of 19 no votes.

In a variety of House votes on different issues such as law enforcement recruiting, confronting terrorist organizations and others, I found Rep. Ramirez as one in a small minority of no votes.

Rep. Ramirez’s unconventional voting record is a good thing for 3rd District voters to know. Thank you to the Daily Herald for encouraging us to do some research on the candidates.
