Here’s the roll call vote on the Amtrak bill. All House Democrats voted for it (except ten not present), as did 87 Republicans. From Virginia, the Democrats (Moran, Boucher, and Scott) were joined by NoVA Republicans Tom Davis and Frank Wolf, as well as Cantor, Drake, Goode, and Goodlatte, while Forbes and Wittman voted no. Maryland’s Democrats (Ruppersberger, Sarbanes, Hoyer, Cummings, and van Hollen) also picked up Gilchrest, while Bartlett did not vote (and the seat formerly held by Al Wynn is vacant).
