Track record
Assembled from Congress.gov · FEC · official disclosures — each fact links its own source
- Roll-call participation →
voted in 17 recorded roll calls
Missing a vote is not inherently negative — an absence can be excused, reflect leadership or committee duty, or a recorded pairing.
- Bills sponsored →
plus 189 cosponsored
A count of bills introduced as the primary sponsor; most legislation never advances, regardless of who sponsors it.
- Sponsored bills enacted →
of 7 bills sponsored
Whether a bill becomes law depends on the whole Congress, not the sponsor alone; substantive provisions often pass folded into other vehicles.
- Party-unity voting
votes with the party majority · on 8 party-line votes
Party-unity is how often a member votes with their own party's majority on party-line votes — it reflects agenda alignment, not loyalty, independence, or virtue.
- Cross-party voting
votes with the other party's majority on those same votes
The share of the same party-line votes cast with the OTHER party's majority — a descriptive rate, not a measure of principle.
- Documented positions →
no positions documented yet
Documented, sourced positions we have on record — the absence of a documented position is not the absence of a view.
- Committee assignments →
committees and subcommittees
Committee seats are assignments made by party leadership — a measure of role and jurisdiction, not an achievement or a conflict in itself.
- Disclosed stock trades →
5 tickers · 2 in a sector a committee they sit on oversees
Disclosed trades are legally required public filings (STOCK Act), not evidence of wrongdoing; trades may be executed by a manager or held in a blind trust.
- Documented relationships →
neutral overlap signals (e.g., committee oversight of a traded sector)
A documented relationship is a factual overlap in the public record — NOT evidence of wrongdoing.
Assembled from CivicGate's ingested public records for James A. Himes. A fact shown as “—” means we don't yet hold that data — not that the value is zero.

Documented relationships
Documented facts about Himes, aggregated from public records. A documented relationship is not evidence of wrongdoing — it is context, not a conclusion.
- Committee oversight & trading — finance coverage: high
Sits on the House Committee on Financial Services, which oversees the finance sector, and disclosed 1 finance-sector trade (disclosed amounts up to $15,000) in Jul 2026.
Counts only disclosed trades we could tag to a sector; sector coverage is partial, so the real total may be higher.
