Marginal Solons Hint of Backing Administration
Washington AP reports that marginal district congressmen show early willingness to back the House establishment. In two key votes this year the bipartisan group helped oppose government funding for the SST and failed to limit the draft extension to one year by two votes, often ignoring Nixon administration and party leaders. About 50 lawmakers elected by narrow margins last November are evenly split Democrats and Republicans, with half first-termers. Notable swing voices include Rep. Fred O. Schwengel who voted for the draft extension and against the SST, reflecting shifting district priorities toward spending and governance. The rise of independence is seen in roll calls, with 30 marginal-district members supporting the one-year draft extension and 27 opposing, while 34 swing-district members backed the SST’s defeat and 23 voted with the administration.
