Overview
Roger F. Wicker has served Mississippi in Congress for nearly three decades, beginning in the House of Representatives in the mid-1990s before moving to the Senate. His extensive voting record spans over 400 recorded votes across major policy areas including healthcare, budget matters, agriculture, and defense. Senator Wicker's voting patterns show particular engagement with healthcare policy, where he has cast the largest number of his recorded votes. His support rates vary by issue area, with higher affirmative voting on taxation and defense matters, and more selective support on social security and banking issues. As a senator from Mississippi, Wicker represents a state with significant agricultural interests and military installations, which appears reflected in his committee work and voting priorities.
