Greg Stanton

Overview

Greg Stanton is a Democratic U.S. Representative from Arizona whose voting record reflects a moderate-liberal position within his party. Across 495 recorded votes, he consistently supports legislation related to healthcare, labor protections, infrastructure investment, and foreign policy. He has voted in favor of every foreign policy and labor measure that came before him during this period. On fiscal issues, Stanton has frequently voted against budget resolutions and continuing appropriations measures, which is consistent with Democratic opposition to Republican-led spending frameworks. He opposed the fiscal year 2027 budget resolution and related continuing resolutions. In healthcare, he supported motions related to Medicaid protections and efforts to lower health care premiums, voting in favor of these measures roughly 79% of the time. Stanton's record on environment and energy is more nuanced than a simple party-line pattern would suggest. He voted against a congressional disapproval resolution targeting California's harbor craft emissions standards, siding with maintaining environmental regulations, but his overall yea rate in this category is just 32%, reflecting opposition to several energy-related measures. On immigration and housing, he voted against the majority of measures that came to the floor, with yea rates of 25% and 37.5% respectively. His defense voting pattern shows support for veterans' services alongside engagement with war powers questions. He voted for the Take Care of America's Veterans Act and supported a War Powers Resolution measure directing the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities in Lebanon, while opposing a similar but differently scoped Lebanon withdrawal measure — suggesting attention to the specific terms of each proposal rather than a blanket position.
