§3Popular bills that never got a vote
Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.
While Abraham "Abe" Hamadeh served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Abraham "Abe" Hamadeh sponsored or cosponsored 7 of the 26. How bills die without a vote.
