RULE BILLS
**A rule bill is a bill passed through a full House vote under a rule that has been voted and agreed upon by the Rules Committee. Rule bills require a simple majority of the House to pass (218 votes) through a recorded vote.

Result and Date	Bill #	Bill Title	My Vote	What it means for you and your family
7/16/19 PASSED 240-187	H.Res. 489	Condemning President Trump’s racist comments directed at Members of Congress	NO	Please see my full statement here.
7/17/19 PASSED 397-31	H.R. 3494	Damon Paul Nelson and Matthew Young Pollard Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020	YES	This legislation authorizing funding for intelligence related agencies of the U.S. Government.
7/17/19 PASSED 238-190	S.J.Res. 36	A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed transfer to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Italian Republic of certain defense articles and services	NO	The Islamic State (ISIS) has been defeated in Iraq and must not be allowed to gain a foothold in Yemen. I support the sale of arms to our allies in the region as they push back against insurgent forces.
7/17/19 PASSED 238-190	S.J.Res 37	A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed export to the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the Republic of France of certain defense articles and services	NO	The Islamic State (ISIS) has been defeated in Iraq and must not be allowed to gain a foothold in Yemen. I support the sale of arms to our allies in the region as they push back against insurgent forces.
7/17/19 PASSED 237-190	S.J.Res. 38	A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed export to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland of certain defense articles and services	NO	The Islamic State (ISIS) has been defeated in Iraq and must not be allowed to gain a foothold in Yemen. I support the sale of arms to our allies in the region as they push back against insurgent forces.
7/18/19 PASSED 231-199	H.R. 582	Raise the Wage Act	NO	The key to better paychecks is increasing opportunity and growing good-paying jobs. While a $15 minimum wage makes sense in some parts of the country, it would seriously harm small businesses in Eastern Washington. Washington State has a minimum wage nearly five dollars higher than the federal minimum wage, and I believe that this localization is the proper path forward.

SUSPENSION BILLS

**A suspension bill is a bill passed by the House through suspending the rules to move quickly, circumventing the House Rules Committee. Suspension bills are typically less controversial pieces of legislation, and as the rules are being suspended, they require a higher threshold, two-thirds of those voting in the House, to pass. Additionally, these bills are often passed by a voice vote, without a formal roll call vote.
