What these lines mean
These lines come from this official’s entry in the Congressional Directory, which Congress publishes. Each member’s office supplies or approves its entry. We save our own copy and sort each part of the entry by fixed rules. No AI is used.
Previous profession lists the work the entry names outside public office, in the Directory’s own words. Public office here means an elected or appointed position, staff work for an elected official or a legislature, and party or campaign work.
Lifelong politician means: Congress’s biography lists no occupation outside public office. It also means the entry lists no military service. A person on our side confirms these words before they appear.
Years in public office counts elected and appointed positions only. Staff work and party work are left out. Each year counts once.
Since the current Congress began on January 3, 2025, Gosar 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 Gosar is a member. On 1 more, the recorded House vote is on a resolution. Gosar 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.
Gosar 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 Secure America Act, a 2026 budget law; and the Russia and Iran sanctions law.
On funding the government, Gosar votes Yes on the March 2025 full-year funding law, the November 2025 law that ended the 43-day shutdown, the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies and the September 2026 funding extension, and No on the January 2026 funding law for science, energy, Interior and the EPA.
Gosar votes No on the defense policy law for fiscal year 2026.
Congress cancelled 24 federal rules by recorded vote in the House in that time. Gosar votes to cancel 22 and against cancelling 0, and did not vote on 2. The rules Gosar votes to cancel come from: Interior: Bureau of Land Management (7), Environmental Protection Agency (4), Energy (4), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (2), District of Columbia government (1), Treasury: Comptroller of the Currency (1), Interior: National Park Service (1), Treasury: Internal Revenue Service (1) and Interior: Ocean Energy Management (1).
On all 47 Yes votes Gosar votes the same way as most House Republicans. On all 7 No votes Gosar votes differently from most of them.
Gosar did not vote on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act, the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge Act, the law that cancels the EPA approval that let California phase out sales of new gasoline-only cars by 2035, the law that cancels an EPA rule that tightened limits on toxic air emissions from tire manufacturing plants and the TAKE IT DOWN Act.
