Overview

Rep. Mike Levin represents California in the U.S. House and has compiled a voting record across 495 recorded votes that spans a wide range of policy areas. His strongest policy focus areas by volume include healthcare, budget matters, defense, and environment and energy — all topics where he has cast dozens of votes. On healthcare and labor issues, Levin votes consistently in favor of expanding protections and worker-related legislation, supporting the vast majority of bills in those areas. He has voted in favor of measures aimed at lowering health care premiums and protecting Medicaid. On foreign policy, he has supported every measure that came to a vote, indicating broad agreement with bipartisan international engagement efforts. Levin's voting record on budget and immigration issues shows a pattern of opposing many proposals in those areas — voting against most budget resolutions and continuing appropriations measures, and opposing the majority of immigration-related bills. On environment and energy, he opposed a congressional disapproval resolution targeting California's harbor craft emissions standards, suggesting support for his home state's environmental regulations. He also supported the Ratepayer Protection Act and Water Resources Development Act. His defense voting record is mixed, supporting veterans' care legislation and War Powers Resolution measures while opposing the fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. This pattern suggests he evaluates defense bills individually rather than voting as a bloc in either direction.
