Sarah McBride

Overview

Sarah McBride is a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Delaware. With 452 recorded votes, she has established a moderate-liberal voting record that leans toward the center of her party. Her voting patterns show consistent support in areas like labor protections, infrastructure investment, and foreign policy, while her positions on budget and environmental regulation reflect a mix of party-line votes and occasional departures. On defense and veterans' issues, McBride has voted in favor of the majority of measures that came before her, including legislation supporting veterans and invoking the War Powers Resolution to limit military engagements abroad. In the area of criminal justice, her record is more evenly split, reflecting the range of proposals in that category — from supporting law enforcement memorials and prison staff safety to opposing certain resolutions. McBride's record on budget and appropriations shows she opposed the fiscal year 2027 budget resolution and continuing resolutions, which is consistent with broader Democratic opposition to spending frameworks proposed by the Republican majority. On environmental and energy issues, she voted against congressional disapproval resolutions targeting EPA regulations while supporting water resources development and ratepayer protection measures. Her labor record stands out as an area of unanimous support — she voted in favor of all five labor-related measures that came to a vote. She also supported infrastructure and agriculture measures at high rates, suggesting a focus on investments that affect working families and rural communities.
