Kevin Mullin

Overview

Kevin Mullin is a Democratic U.S. Representative from California with 463 recorded votes. His voting record reflects broadly progressive priorities. He consistently opposes Republican-led budget and spending proposals, having voted against 79% of budget-related measures that came to the floor, including the fiscal year 2027 budget resolution and continuing appropriations bills. He also votes against most measures in the environment and energy category that would roll back regulatory protections — for example, he voted to preserve the EPA's approval of California's harbor craft pollution standards. On defense and foreign policy, Mullin shows a willingness to engage across traditional party lines. He supported 68% of defense-related measures, including the Take Care of America's Veterans Act. In foreign policy, he backed 73% of measures and voted on War Powers Resolutions regarding U.S. military involvement in Lebanon, though he took different positions on two related Lebanon resolutions in mid-2026. He also voted against the September 2026 impeachment resolution targeting President Trump, which represents a departure from many members of his party. In labor policy, Mullin is a strong supporter of worker protections, voting in favor of 80% of labor-related measures. He generally supports technology and taxation legislation as well. On criminal justice, he supported the Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act and backed memorializing law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. His immigration and agriculture votes are evenly split, suggesting he evaluates those bills on a case-by-case basis rather than following a strict ideological pattern.
