David Schweikert

Overview

Representative David Schweikert of Arizona has compiled a voting record across 565 recorded votes that reflects consistent conservative priorities. His strongest areas of agreement with legislation have been in technology, criminal justice, banking and finance, and taxation — categories where he voted in favor of nearly every bill that came before him. He has also shown strong support for energy and environment legislation, frequently voting to limit federal environmental regulations and support energy development. On healthcare, his record is more mixed, with roughly 57% of his votes in favor and 43% against.

In the area of foreign policy, he has been more cautious about military commitments, voting against War Powers Resolution measures regarding U.S. forces in Lebanon. On labor issues, Schweikert voted against the majority of bills that came to the floor, supporting only about one-third of labor-related legislation. His budget votes show strong support for Republican fiscal frameworks, including the fiscal year 2027 budget resolution and continuing appropriations. His record on taxation reflects consistent support for tax-related legislation, voting in favor of roughly 85% of tax bills.
