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, Schneider 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 Schneider is a member. On 1 more, the recorded House vote is on a resolution. Schneider votes No 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.
Schneider votes Yes on 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 and the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
On funding the government, Schneider votes Yes on the January 2026 funding law for science, energy, Interior and the EPA, and the September 2026 funding extension, and No on the March 2025 full-year funding law, the November 2025 law that ended the 43-day shutdown and the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies.
Schneider votes No on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the 2025 tax and spending law; the Secure America Act, a 2026 budget law; and the Russia and Iran sanctions law.
Congress cancelled 24 federal rules by recorded vote in the House in that time. Schneider votes to cancel 1 and against cancelling 23. The rules Schneider votes to cancel come from: Treasury: Internal Revenue Service (1).
Schneider votes differently from most House Democrats on 2 of 58 Yes and No votes: Yes on the GENIUS Act on stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar) and Yes on the law that cancels an IRS rule that would have required decentralized finance platforms to report their customers' digital asset sales the way stockbrokers do.
Schneider did not vote on the Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial and Sacred Site Act and the Laken Riley Act on immigration detention.
Votes on laws that passed
Protects 40 acres at the Wounded Knee massacre site as land owned by the Oglala Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes.
Requires immigration authorities to detain non-citizens without legal status who are charged with, arrested for or convicted of theft-related crimes, assaulting a police officer, or crimes causing death or serious injury.

Read from the lists Congress printed for 4 laws. An item requested by several members appears under each of them, so sums across members count such an item more than once. A list the Congressional Record printed on two days is counted once, from the later printing. A requester is tied to a member only when exactly one member serving in that chamber on that day has the printed name.
