These House lawmakers broke from their parties on pandemic-related measures
BY MYCHAEL SCHNELL - 02/01/23 8:26 PM ETA handful of House lawmakers broke from their parties in votes on two pandemic-related measures Wednesday, with some Democrats supporting both measures and a contingent of Republicans opposing one of them.
The first bill, dubbed the Stopping Home Office Work’s Unproductive Problems Act, passed in a 221-206 vote. The measure would mandate executive agencies to stop enforcing pandemic-era teleworking policies by ordering them to return to conditions that were in place in December 2019.
It would also prevent executive agencies from expanding their teleworking policies until the director of the Office of Personnel Management certifies their plans to do so.
Three Democrats voted for the measure despite leadership urging its members to oppose it: Reps. Josh Harder (Calif.), Kim Schrier (Wash.) and Susan Wild (Pa.).
One Republican — Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) — voted “no.”
