What they stand for
Schumer has spent years focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports legislation addressing sepsis awareness and treatmentSchumer sponsored S.1929, the SEPSIS Act, which has been reintroduced across multiple Congresses. The bill addresses federal policy related to sepsis, a life-threatening medical condition. Its repeated reintroduction indicates sustained attention to this public health issue within his legislative agenda.
- 02Supports commemorative coin recognition for Roberto ClementeSchumer sponsored S.877, the Roberto Clemente Commemorative Coin Act, which has been reintroduced across multiple Congresses. The bill would authorize the minting of commemorative coins honoring the late baseball Hall of Famer and humanitarian Roberto Clemente.
- 03Active use of Senate amendment process across multiple CongressesSchumer introduced multiple amendments in the 118th and 119th Congresses, including SAMDT.3021, agreed to 91–3, and SAMDT.1577, SAMDT.1579, and SAMDT.1294, each tabled by voice vote. SAMDT.1884 was not agreed to by a 46–53 vote, and SAMDT.3109 did not achieve the 60-vote threshold required under a standing order.
