San Diego’s Congressional delegation splits votes
By Miriam Raftery
January 25, 2013 (Washington D.C.)—By a 285-144 vote, the House of Representative Wednesday voted to prevent the government from defaulting on its debt by suspending the federal debt limit until May 18, giving Congress time to craft a longer term solution. The majority of Republicans supported the bill, HR 325, while most Democrats opposed – though San Diego’s Congressional representatives voted just the opposite.
Democrats Susan Davis, Scott Peters and Juan Vargas were among a minority of 88 Democrats who supported the bill, while Republicans Duncan Hunter and Darrell Issa were among just 33 Republicans who voted no.
