Stem Cell Bill Vote
109th Congress, 1st Session
May 24, 2005
The House vote of 238-194 to pass the bill to expand federal financing for embryonic stem cell research (H.R. 810) found greater unity among Democrats (14 voting no) than among Republicans (50 voting yes). Votes within the caucuses were generally unified even though this was not a caucus-based issue. Congressional Black Caucus members voted unanimously (one not voting) in support of the bill, as did all Democratic Congressional Hispanic Caucus members (Republican CHC members voted no). Five Blue Dogs and one Progressive Caucus member went against the majority of each caucus voting in support of the bill. Only two members of the conservative Republican Study Committee voted for the bill, Rep. Joe Barton (TX) and Rep. Jerry Lewis (CA). The bipartisan Rural Caucus was split, as expected, on an issue not related to its purpose.
Individual votes may be seen in the table below and may be sorted by caucus by clicking on Sort at the top of a column. Sorting by party and going to the section showing Democrats voting No gives a ready picture of caucus memberships among these Representatives.
