Joe Neguse

Overview

Joe Neguse represents Colorado in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat with a consistently progressive voting record across 495 recorded votes. His strongest areas of legislative activity include healthcare, defense-related issues, environment and energy policy, and budget matters. On healthcare and labor issues, Neguse votes in favor of expanded protections and benefits at high rates — supporting measures like the Do No Harm in Medicaid Act and the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act. On environment and energy, he frequently opposes efforts to roll back environmental regulations, including voting against congressional disapproval of EPA pollution control standards for California harbor craft. In budget and fiscal matters, Neguse most often votes against Republican-led budget proposals — opposing the fiscal year 2027 budget resolution and continuing appropriations measures. On defense, he supports veterans' legislation such as the Take Care of America's Veterans Act while also backing War Powers Resolution measures that would reassert congressional authority over military deployments. His foreign policy voting record is notably lopsided, with 10 of 11 votes cast in favor, suggesting broad support for international engagement measures that have come to the floor. He also shows consistent support for technology-related legislation, voting in favor 70% of the time in that category.
