Recent Recorded Votes

Legislation & official congressional activity
No legislation has been promoted into the curated editorial layer for this member yet. That is intentional: TrumpsMouth 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. TrumpsMouth will add claim-specific vote explanations only when a particular vote or legislative action is actually part of a sourced claim.
