Iowa Starting Line checked three bills meant to help ordinary workers. On the Faster Labor Contracts Act, all three Iowa Republicans voted no. On the PRO Act and the bill restoring federal workers' bargaining rights, Ashley Hinson voted no again.
H.Res. 1490 passed 220-192. It changes no law and spends no money. Its one concrete demand is the SAVE America Act, a proof-of-citizenship rule of the kind Kansas tried — where 31,089 people could not register, against 39 confirmed noncitizens the state found in the previous 14 years. 189 members with a page on this site voted yes.
The House voted September 2 on a constitutional amendment freezing the Supreme Court at nine justices. The Constitution never set that number — Congress did, and has changed it five times. Here is every Republican with a report card who voted yes.
H.R. 8646 passed 213-210 on June 4. It comes in $380 million below last year and, in the Appropriations Committee's own words, reduces salaries and expenses "to account for staffing reductions" — the nearly 4,300 FDA and roughly 900 meat-inspection jobs already gone. 188 members with a page on this site voted yes. Four voted no.
Accepting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's endorsement at an Indianola factory, Miller-Meeks told the workers she voted for Trump's budget bill 'not for business organizations or owners' but 'for you all' — then said she hasn't heard from a single Iowan hurt by it.
In May 2025, 215 House Republicans voted for a ten-year ban on states and towns enforcing any law that limits AI — data centers included. Four of the fourteen named here voted for it four separate times. Now they are campaigning on letting your town decide.
H.R. 1232 would delete the part of federal labor law that lets a union and an employer agree everyone covered by a contract helps pay for it — in all 50 states, whatever each state decided. Missouri voters killed right-to-work 67-33. Michigan repealed it. Their congressmen signed anyway.
The 60 Plus Association was started with Koch money in 1992. It bragged in 1997 that it was the first seniors group to back privatizing Social Security, and it has pushed to turn Medicare into vouchers. Eleven House Republicans and an independent who caucuses with them took its award anyway.
POLITICO asked all 16 whether they'd return money from a congressman accused of assaulting his ex-wife and their young child. Brad Finstad returned $5,000. Mike Lawler said no. The other 14 wouldn't say.
ICE plans to spend up to $20 million on gloves that deliver painful electric shocks — ten times what Susan Collins points to as the de-escalation reform that justified her vote. Here are the 201 Republicans with report cards on this site who voted for the money.
On June 9, 2026, the House passed S. 2 by 214 to 212. At that margin every single Republican yes vote was the deciding vote. Here are the 187 still in their races who have report cards on this site.
A Wall Street Journal investigation found ICE is paying contractors millions to scan social media around the clock, then using subpoenas to unmask Americans who criticize the agency. Nobody has been charged. That may be the point.
Campaign finance records show nearly 30 donations to Miller-Meeks from companies tied to PFAS, water pollution, and cancer-linked products — while she cheered a ruling gutting wetlands protections and voted for a bill to shrink the Clean Water Act further.
On July 23 the House voted 214-208 to order U.S. forces out of Trump's unauthorized war with Iran. These 182 Republicans we track voted no — the second time Congress has told the president to stop, and the second time they tried to stop Congress from saying it.
The Trump administration cancelled a farmer-training grant in Iowa City as 'wasteful spending' — the same district Mariannette Miller-Meeks represents while she cheers on the cuts.
The House passed the 'Reliable Power Act,' handing federal energy regulators the power to stall EPA rules on power-plant pollution. Here's every Republican with a report card who voted yes.
A year after Mariannette Miller-Meeks — a doctor — voted for Trump's budget bill, nearly 25,000 Iowans have lost food assistance, her district's hospital ended labor and delivery services, and she told booing constituents the bill 'strengthened' Medicaid.
The Senate blocked the fix and the House passed a fake one. Here's every Republican we track who voted to let ACA premiums more than double.
