On the recordJuly 12, 2017
Mr. Speaker, I was absent during rollcall votes No. 347, No. 348, and No. 349 due to my spouse's health situation in California. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on the Motion on Ordering the Previous Question on the Rule providing for consideration of both H.R. 23 and H.R. 2810. I would have also voted ``nay'' on H. Res. 431--Rule providing for consideration of both H.R. 23--Gaining Responsibility on Water Act of 2017 and H.R. 2810--National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. I would have also voted ``yea'' on H.R. 1492--Medical Controlled Substances Transportation Act of 2017. Personal Explanation
