Vanessa Enoch, on the record
I have no votes in Congress to count for Enoch, so the grade above comes from this list: what Enoch has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.
-

Price caps are price controls, against liberty on free markets.
