25 May 2021
Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) has voted with her party over 99 percent of the time, according to a voting record database kept by ProPublica.
Murphy, since taking office in 2017, has been in lockstep with her party since day one. The data found that she only has voted against her party 0.7 percent of the time.
She has only sponsored 59 bills since becoming a member, according to the report. Additionally, Murphy has only had three bills be signed into law. Two of the laws were renaming post offices, and the third bill was to give the president authority to award a Medal of Honor recipient posthumously.
