2ND AMENDMENT

Candidate position

Our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms is absolute and I oppose efforts to create a national gun registry and other anti-gun legislation that erodes our gun rights. My strong support of the 2nd Amendment has earned me a career “A” voting record from the NRA and Gun Owners of America.

DEBT & SPENDING

Candidate position

The U.S. national debt is now more than $30 trillion. Yet, the Federal Government continues to borrow over 40% of every dollar it spends. I will continue to support true spending cuts and a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, which is why I was named “Hero of the Taxpayer” by Citizens Against Government Waste.

IMMIGRATION & BORDER SECURITY

Candidate position

I support President Trump’s border wall and have worked with the Trump Administration to finally address the threats posed by our porous borders. I fought the Obama Administration’s amnesty efforts, including those led by the so-called “Gang of 8,” and continue to be an outspoken leader on border security. I’ve earned an A+ from NumbersUSA and 100% from Federation for American Immigration Reform.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Candidate position

A strong, reliable infrastructure promotes interstate commerce, creates economic growth and prosperity, and creates more jobs and stability for our families. As Co-Chairman of the I-11 Caucus, I have focused on expanding I-11 into a full-blown interstate between Phoenix and Las Vegas, connecting two major metropolitan areas which remain the only major urban areas of their size that remain unlinked.

JOBS & ECONOMY

Candidate position

By cutting red tape and regulations, lowering all taxes, and demanding fair trade policies, we can grow our economy and create better paying jobs. Economic growth originates from the hard-working entrepreneurial spirit of the American people and the best thing we can do to reignite job growth in this country is to get the federal government out of the way. My support for pro-growth policies has earned me a 100% from the National Federation of Independent Business, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council, and the Campaign for Working Families.

MILITARY & VETERANS

Candidate position

Our nation must honor its commitment to those who have served our country, and to the families of those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice. This includes making sure we keep our promises with respect to health care and retirement benefits. I will never support harmful cuts to military spending in order to fund costly, liberal, big government programs. I was a leader in exposing the abuses at the VA and helped institute reforms that protect our veterans.

NATIONAL DEFENSE

Candidate position

Maintaining national security is one of the federal government’s primary responsibilities under the Constitution. We must ensure the people of the United States are protected by providing for our common defense. But it’s also important that we not forget our national debt of more than $22 trillion. Congress needs to work with the Pentagon to identify wasteful and duplicative programs that can be consolidated or removed in order to ensure our defense budget is being spent responsibly. My support for a strong national defense earned me a 100% from the American Security Council.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Candidate position

Our core religious freedoms, guarded by the First Amendment, are under assault by progressives and social justice warriors. They want to silence those who embrace traditional values and institute morally-relative policies that tear apart our social fabric. I will continue to staunchly defend our religious liberties which is why I’ve earned a 100% from the Christian Coalition, Concerned Women of America, Eagle Forum, Faith & Freedom Coalition, and the Family Research Council.

Twenty-five years ago, America was attacked by radical Islamic terrorists who sought to destroy our way of life. Nearly 3,000 innocent Americans were murdered. Families were shattered. A nation was forever changed. We remember them. We honor them. We will never forget.

Taxes and economic policy

Candidate position

One of the signature accomplishments of the Trump Administration is federal tax reform. In addition to providing economic stimulus that has resulted in the fast economic growth we’ve seen in a generation, it has allowed small businesses to make capital investments that have helped create new jobs and brought unemployment to historic lows. I’ve signed Americans for Tax Reform’s Taxpayer Protection Pledge and earned a 100% from Americans for Prosperity, 92% from the National Tax Limitation Committee, 90% from the National Taxpayers Union.

Abortion and adoption

Candidate position

I believe in the sanctity of life and have spent my career protecting the rights of the unborn. But being pro-life is about more than trying to end this tragic practice, which is why I’ve also worked to reduce barriers to adoption, and promote policies that support groups offering hope and assistance to mothers facing crisis pregnancies. My efforts have earned me a 100% from National Right to Life.

Jobs, border security, and federal spending

As a member of Congress, he is focused on fighting for the interests of the people of Arizona. By repealing burdensome regulations and fostering an environment for economic growth, he’s working to create more jobs for our families. He’s working to keep our families safe by securing the border and ending the influx of illegal immigration. And he’s reforming government by cutting federal spending and forcing accountability.

July 21, 2026

The exact official service window begins 2011-01-03, but the first identity-safe member-level roll call currently captured is dated 2011-01-05. Earlier online Clerk material that is unavailable or cannot be bridged to one exact member identity remains excluded; no vote or absence is inferred. Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
