Overview

Representative Mike Johnson of Louisiana has compiled a voting record that aligns with conservative Republican positions during his time in the House. His votes span multiple policy areas, with particular activity in healthcare-related legislation where he has voted on 40 bills with a relatively balanced 50% approval rate, suggesting selective support based on specific bill contents. On budget matters, Johnson has shown more restrictive tendencies, supporting only 38% of budget-related measures that came to a vote. This pattern is consistent with fiscal conservative principles that prioritize limited government spending. Johnson's procedural votes, including multiple votes on ordering the previous question and agreeing to resolutions, demonstrate consistent alignment with Republican leadership positions. His voting on motions to recommit and final passage sometimes diverges, as seen in the June 2019 votes where he supported recommittal but opposed final passage of a bill.

Key Positions

  • Fiscally conservative approach to budget legislation
  • Selective support for healthcare measures
  • Consistent alignment with Republican procedural positions
  • Support for agricultural interests in his largely rural district
