Since the current Congress began on January 3, 2025, Palmer has a recorded vote on 60 laws that passed, and 1 vote on a resolution that passed a law.
The tally counts votes on passage. 1 vote on a resolution that passed a law is listed apart.
This record covers laws that passed. Votes on bills that did not become law are not included yet.
The record in plain language
Of the 118 laws passed since January 3, 2025, 60 came to a recorded vote on passage in the House while Palmer is a member. On 1 more, the recorded House vote is on a resolution. Palmer votes Yes on H.Res. 590, the resolution that passed the Rescissions Act of 2025 in the House. The rest passed the House by voice vote or without objection, which records no individual votes.
Palmer votes Yes on the Laken Riley Act on immigration detention; the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the 2025 tax and spending law; the HALT Fentanyl Act; the GENIUS Act on stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar); the Epstein Files Transparency Act; the defense policy law for fiscal year 2026; the Secure America Act, a 2026 budget law; the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act; and the Russia and Iran sanctions law.
On funding the government, Palmer votes Yes on the March 2025 full-year funding law; the November 2025 law that ended the 43-day shutdown; the January 2026 funding law for science, energy, Interior and the EPA; the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies; and the September 2026 funding extension.
Congress cancelled 24 federal rules by recorded vote in the House in that time. Palmer votes to cancel 22 and against cancelling 0, and did not vote on 2. The rules Palmer votes to cancel come from: Interior: Bureau of Land Management (7), Environmental Protection Agency (6), Energy (4), District of Columbia government (1), Interior: National Park Service (1), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (1), Treasury: Internal Revenue Service (1) and Interior: Ocean Energy Management (1).
Palmer votes the same way as most House Republicans on all 58 of these Yes and No votes.
Palmer did not vote on the law that cancels a bank regulator's rule that changed how proposed bank mergers are reviewed, restoring the earlier, faster process, and the law that cancels a consumer bureau rule that would have limited overdraft fees at the largest banks and credit unions.
