A look at Rep. Tom Reed’s voting record over the past year on 12 separate issues shows the congressman generally votes the same as other Republicans in the state.

New York state has 27 congressional representatives, with Reed, R-Corning, representing the area in the 23rd Districts. Reed is one of six Republicans in the House while the other 21 are Democrats.

In January, the House of Representatives voted 251-166 to adopt the five-year farm and food bill with an almost $100 billion budget. The bill cut food stamp spending 1 percent while also ending direct payments to growers along with expanding farm exports and crop insurance, funding conservation programs and aiding rural development. Reed voted in favor of the bill, along with the other five Republicans and five Democrats from New York.

The House approved suspending the national debt limit in February by a 221-201 margin. Reed, along with District 19 Republican Chris Gibson, both voted no on sending the bill to the Senate that would allow the Treasury to borrow above the $17.2 trillion debt ceiling.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was brought under congressional control by a 232-182 vote in late February, with a yes vote approving limiting the CFPB’s rulemaking authority, create a five-person council to run the bureau and put its funding under congressional control. Reed was joined by his five Republican colleagues and Democrat Bill Owens from the 21st District in supporting the bill.

A March 12 vote amending a Republican bill on separation of powers failed on a 187-228 vote, with Reed joining the other five state Republicans in casting no votes while all the Democrats who did vote on the bill voted no. Approval would have restored benefits that expired Dec. 28 for 1.5 million of the long-term unemployed. Republicans said the benefits should be paid in another part of the budget.

An April attempt by Democrats to sidetrack a bill on accounting rules until the Census Bureau reported that women had reached equal pay with men for full-time, year-round work failed on a 179-217 vote. Reed was joined by four New York Republicans in voting no, with one Republican and one Democrat not voting while the other 20 Democrats voted for the bill.

In May, the House approved by a 232-186 margin the creation of a Select Benghazi Committee to probe government actions surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Reed missed the vote, which was supported by the other five New York Republicans, while all 21 Democrats were opposed to the committee.

Also in May, the House voted down, 194-227, a bid by Democrats to tie a minimum wage and pay equity effort to the awarding of government contracts under the 2015 military budget. The bill was opposed by all six New York Republicans while Democrats were all in favor, minus one not-voting designation.

Although opposed by civil libertarians as having too many loopholes, the House voted 303-121 in May to curb the power of the National Security Agency to collect bulk data on Americans’ telecommunications. Reed was joined by 15 other New Yorkers, including 12 Democrats, in supporting the bill dealing with agency actions under the USA Patriot Act and other such laws.

The Department of Energy and the Army Corps of Engineers will not be receiving funding in fiscal year 2015 to develop policies to address climate change as the House voted 229-188 in July to bar the funding for studies based on “biased” science. Reed, along with four other Republicans, voted to prohibit the funding while the 19 Democrats who did vote on the bill voted yes.

Also in July, the House voted 225-201 to file a civil suit in federal court against President Barack Obama, charging he exceeded his constitutional authority by acting on his own to delay the Affordable Care Act requirement that many employers provide health insurance for workers. Reed, along with the other five House Republicans from the state supported the bill while all 21 Democrats were opposed.

New York’s congressional representatives split along party lines again as the House voted 216-192 in August to phase out Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Reed and the five other Republicans voted yes to bring an end to the program which allows individuals brought illegally to the United States as children to qualify for work permits and temporary protection from deportation. All 21 Democrats were opposed to ending the program.

The Sept. 17 vote to support training and arming Syrian rebels considered to help in the fight against ISIL passed the House, 273-156. Reed voted yes, along with four Republican and nine Democratic New York representatives, as the vote saw 159 Republicans and 114 Democrats in favor.

There are 435 members of Congress. When Jamestown Democrat Stanley Lundine was elected to Congress in 1976 he represented the 39th District of New York.
