Frank D. Lucas

Overview

Frank Lucas has served as a U.S. Representative from Oklahoma, building a legislative record focused heavily on healthcare policy, budget matters, and agriculture. His voting patterns from the mid-1990s reflect the priorities of a rural Oklahoma district, with particular attention to issues affecting farmers and rural communities. Lucas demonstrates strong support for defense-related measures, voting in favor of all 12 defense bills in his recorded votes. His healthcare voting shows a tendency to support legislation in this area, with a 65% approval rate across 155 votes, though the specific nature of these positions would depend on the individual bills considered. On budget and agricultural matters, Lucas shows more mixed voting patterns, supporting roughly half of the measures that came before him. This suggests a willingness to evaluate fiscal and farm policy proposals on their individual merits rather than voting strictly along party lines.
