Sara Jacobs

Overview

Rep. Sara Jacobs of California has cast 484 recorded votes in the U.S. House of Representatives. Her voting record shows strong support for healthcare legislation, defense and veterans' issues, foreign policy measures, and labor protections. She has consistently voted in favor of technology-related bills and agricultural legislation. Jacobs frequently opposed budget and appropriations proposals brought to the floor, including voting against the fiscal year 2027 congressional budget and continuing resolutions. She also voted against the majority of environment and energy bills that came to a vote, as well as most criminal justice, immigration, and housing measures considered by the chamber. In a Republican-controlled House, these opposition votes largely reflect disagreement with the majority party's approach to these issues rather than opposition to the policy areas themselves. On defense matters, Jacobs supported veterans' care legislation and voted in favor of War Powers Resolution measures regarding U.S. military involvement in Lebanon, suggesting attention to both military personnel welfare and congressional oversight of military deployments. Her healthcare votes show consistent support for measures related to Medicaid protections and efforts to lower health care costs. With 484 votes on record, Jacobs has an active legislative participation history that provides a substantive basis for evaluating her policy priorities and positions.
