Last year, only 84 Democrats voted for the CPC’s “Back to Work Budget". That consisted of a loss of 13 votes and a gain of 18 for a net gain of 5.
3 of those lost votes are members who are no longer in the House: Rob Andrews, Ed Markey, and Mel Watt.
4 more of those lost votes came from members who did not attend
today’s vote: Karen Bass (CA-37), Al Green (TX-09), and Sheila Jackson
Lee (TX-18), and John Lewis (GA-05).
6 Democrats, however, flipped their vote to now oppose the
Congressional Progressive Caucus budget: Stephen Lynch (MA-08), Carolyn
Maloney (NY-12), Ed Pastor (AZ-07), Nick Rahall (WV-03), John Tierney
(MA-06), and Paul Tonko (NY-20).
Of the 18 newly gained voters, six were not in attendance for last
year’s vote (and thus had not voted against it): Ruben Hinojosa (TX-15),
Grace Meng (NY-09), George Miller (CA-11), Debbie Wasserman Schultz
(FL-23), Henry Waxman (CA-33), and Frederica Wilson (FL-24).
Two, Katherine Clark (MA-05) and Robin Kelly (IL-02), had not yet been elected.
Gloria Negrete McLeod (CA-35) had voted “present” last year.
That leaves 9 Democrats who went from opposing the CPC budget to
supporting it: David Cicilline (RI-01), Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Doris
Matsui (CA-06), Gregory Meeks (NY-05), Cedric Richmond (LA-02), David
Scott (GA-13), Terri Sewell (AL-07), Jackie Speier (CA-14), and Bennie
Thompson (MS-02).
9 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus voted against
the CPC’s own budget: Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01), Pete DeFazio (OR-04),
Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), Lois Frankel (FL-22), Steven Horsford (NV-04),
Joseph Kennedy (MA-04), David Loebsack (IA-02), Carolyn Maloney (NY-12),
and Jared Polis (CO-02).

The Congressional Black Caucus's budget received a total of 116 votes. 116 Democrats supported it, and 76 opposed it.
All of the Democrats who voted for the CPC budget also voted for the
CBC budget. 27 Democratic opponents of the Better Off Budget voted for
the Black Caucus's budget.
They were the following:
Sanford Bishop (GA-02)
Joaquin Castro (TX-20)
Gerald Connolly (VA-11)
Joseph Crowley (NY-14)
Rosa DeLauro (CT-03)
Lloyd Doggett (TX-35)
Eliot Engel (NY-16)
Anna Eshoo (CA-18)
Lois Frankel (FL-22)
Steven Horsford (NV-04)
Steny Hoyer (MD-05)
Steve Israel (NY-03)
John Larson (CT-01)
Zoe Lofgren (CA-19)
Stephen Lynch (MA-08)
Richard Neal (MA-01)
Beto O’Rourke (TX-16)
Bill Pascrell (NJ-09)
Ed Pastor (AZ-07)
Adam Schiff (CA-28)
Bobby Scott (VA-03)
Brad Sherman (CA-30)
Adam Smith (WA-09)
Paul Tonko (NY-20)
Niki Tsongas (MA-03)
Chris Van Hollen (MD-08)
Filemon Vela (TX-34)
Last year, only 105 Democrats voted for the CBC budget. There was a net gain, therefore, of 11 votes. This consisted of a loss of 11 and a gain of 22.
Of the 11 lost votes, three are from representatives who are no longer in Congress: Rob Andrews, Ed Markey, and Mel Watt.
Four were just not in attendance for todays’ vote: Karen Bass
(CA-37), Al Green (TX-09), and Sheila Jackson Lee (TX-18), and John
Lewis (GA-05).
Only four, then, flipped their vote to now oppose the CBC’s budget:
Pete DeFazio (OR-04), Ted Deutch (FL-21), Joe Kennedy (MA-04), and John
Tierney (MA-06).
Of the 22 newly gained votes, 9 had just not attended last year: Rosa
DeLauro, Eliot Engel, Anna Eshoo, Ruben Hinojosa, Grace Meng, George
Miller, Terri Sewell, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Henry Waxman.
Two, Katherine Clark (MA-05) and Robin Kelly (IL-02), had not yet been elected.
That means 11 flipped votes. One of those was Gloria Negrete McLeod, who had voted “present” last year.
The other 10 were Gerry Connolly, Lloyd Doggett, Lois Frankel, Zoe
Lofgren, Beto O’Rourke, Adam Schiff, Brad Sherman, Adam Smith, Jackie
Speier, and Filemon Vela.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi did not vote on either the CPC budget or the CBC budget.
