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, Rose 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 Rose is a member. On 1 more, the recorded House vote is on a resolution. Rose 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.
Rose 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, Rose 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; and the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies, and No on the September 2026 funding extension.
Rose 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. Rose votes to cancel 21 and against cancelling 0, and did not vote on 3. The rules Rose votes to cancel come from: Interior: Bureau of Land Management (7), Environmental Protection Agency (4), Energy (3), 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 50 Yes votes Rose votes the same way as most House Republicans. On all 2 No votes Rose votes differently from most of them.
Rose did not vote on the Emergency Conservation Program Improvement Act of 2025, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the law that extends again the surveillance authority that lets intelligence agencies collect the communications of foreigners abroad from U.S. providers without individual warrants, the Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act, the Medal of Honor Act and the law that cancels an EPA rule that tightened limits on toxic air emissions from tire manufacturing plants, and 2 more in the list below.
