How Ansari has voted on the DNA Scan’s statements

Some of the statements in the DNA Scan have come to a recorded floor vote in Congress. Below are Ansari’s votes on them from 2023 to 2026: what each measure did, which way a yea pointed, and the official roll call. The other statements haven’t come to a direct vote, so we don’t guess where Ansari stands on them.
