In April a gunman opened fire outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner while Scalise was in the room. Nine years earlier a gunman nearly killed him. After the first one he said it 'fortified' his views. He voted against the gun safety bills that followed.
Breckinridge and Daviess counties passed moratoriums. Meade County killed a project after 3,000 people signed a petition. Guthrie's answer was a bill that only asks states to think about it — and a request that the FBI look into who's behind the opposition.
In March 2025 the House Agriculture chairman told a Pennsylvania reporter that SNAP cuts were 'a rumor' and 'just misinformation.' In May he released the committee text that wrote them. About 98,000 Pennsylvanians have since lost their food benefits.
Jackson's campaign spent $11,928.27 at an Amarillo dining club that gives him and his wife unlimited access to the dining rooms, gym and a national network of country clubs. The ethics office referred him twice. He refused to be interviewed. So did the club.
Jackson is running to chair the House Armed Services Committee. A Pentagon investigation found he made sexual comments about a female subordinate, drank on presidential trips, and screamed at the staff who worked for him. The Navy demoted him for it.
The House stripped the Roundup liability shield out of Thompson's farm bill 280 to 142. Thompson voted to keep it in. The conference committee, where the chairman sits, is where a stripped page can come back.
Cline's 287(g) Cooperation Act would make every police department in America ineligible for federal hiring grants unless it signs an agreement with ICE within 180 days. The police chief in his own district says his department will keep doing what it has been doing.
The firearms industry's trade group handed Cline its top honor in April and listed exactly what he did to earn it — zeroing out the silencer tax, leading the bill to pull silencers out of federal law, and writing a bill during the shutdown to keep gun paperwork moving.
In March 2021 he called background checks a 'simple fix' that promotes 'safe, sensible, and responsible gun ownership.' After 19 children were killed at Robb Elementary, he voted against every gun bill the House put on the floor — including the one that became law.
