§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 Vince Fong served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Vince Fong sponsored or cosponsored 6 of the 52. How bills die without a vote.
