Biography & Current Office

Background & current office

Paul Gosar is a Republican U.S. representative from Arizona who has served in the House since January 2011. The House Historian records service in the 112th through 119th Congresses.

The House Historian records that Gosar was born in Rock Springs, Wyoming, on November 27, 1958, earned a B.S. from Creighton University in 1981 and a D.D.S. from Creighton in 1985, and worked as a dentist before entering Congress.

The House Historian also records the House’s November 17, 2021 censure of Gosar for posting a manipulated video depicting violence against Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and President Joe Biden. FactFlag preserves that institutional disciplinary record as a House action, not as a characterization beyond the House’s own finding. His official member site lists current service on Natural Resources and Oversight and Government Reform, including chairing the Natural Resources Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.

Recent Recorded Votes

Official recorded-vote record

FactFlag keeps vote data in the public-record layer rather than treating a vote by itself as a factual controversy. Use the official chamber roll-call database to inspect current votes; claim-specific vote explanations are added only when a sourced allegation requires them.

Sponsored/Cosponsored & Curated Notable Legislation

Legislation & official congressional activity

No legislation has been promoted into the curated editorial layer for this member yet. That is intentional: FactFlag does not manufacture a “notable bill” merely to fill a profile.

Use the official federal records below to review sponsored legislation, roll-call activity and current office statements. FactFlag will add claim-specific vote explanations only when a particular vote or legislative action is actually part of a sourced claim.
