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 Sorensen is a member. On 1 more, the recorded House vote is on a resolution. Sorensen 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.

Sorensen votes Yes on the Laken Riley Act on immigration detention, 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, Sorensen 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.

Sorensen 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. Sorensen votes to cancel 1 and against cancelling 23. The rules Sorensen votes to cancel come from: Treasury: Internal Revenue Service (1).

Sorensen votes differently from most House Democrats on 3 of 60 Yes and No votes: Yes on the GENIUS Act on stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar), 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 and Yes on the Laken Riley Act on immigration detention.
