Overview
Vince Fong is a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California with 454 recorded votes. His voting record reflects a broadly conservative approach across most policy areas, with particularly strong support for legislation related to criminal justice, taxation, technology, and energy policy. He has voted in favor of the majority of bills in these areas, often aligning with Republican priorities such as reducing regulatory burdens and supporting law enforcement. On fiscal matters, Fong has consistently supported budget resolutions and appropriations measures, including the fiscal year 2027 budget. His environment and energy votes show strong support for energy-related legislation, including votes to disapprove certain EPA regulations. On defense and foreign policy, his record is more mixed — he supported keeping U.S. forces engaged in Lebanon by voting against War Powers Resolution measures to withdraw troops, but voted against some veterans' legislation. Fong's record shows notable patterns in a few areas: he has opposed most labor-related legislation (voting yea only 20% of the time), and his single recorded vote on reproductive rights was a nay. At the same time, he voted yea on the impeachment of President Trump, a vote that distinguished him from many in his party. His overall profile is that of a conservative legislator who occasionally diverges from the Republican mainstream, consistent with his slightly more moderate ideology score.
