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, Slotkin has a recorded vote on 38 laws that passed.

9 Yes · 28 No · 1 Did not vote
Confirmed from the official record

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, 38 came to a recorded vote in the Senate while Slotkin is a member. The rest passed the Senate by voice vote or without objection, which records no individual votes.

Slotkin 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 defense policy law for fiscal year 2026 and the Russia and Iran sanctions law.

On funding the government, Slotkin 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.

Slotkin votes No on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the 2025 tax and spending law; the Rescissions Act of 2025, which cancelled about $9 billion in approved spending; and the Secure America Act, a 2026 budget law.

Congress cancelled 24 federal rules by recorded vote in the Senate in that time. Slotkin votes to cancel 2 and against cancelling 22. The rules Slotkin votes to cancel come from: Environmental Protection Agency (1) and Treasury: Internal Revenue Service (1).

Slotkin votes differently from most Senate Democrats on 4 of 37 Yes and No votes: Yes on the GENIUS Act on stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar), Yes on the law that cancels the EPA approval that let California phase out sales of new gasoline-only cars by 2035, 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.

Slotkin did not vote on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

  1. Slotkin, Peters, Bergman Lead Bipartisan Effort to Bring Coast Guard Drone Testing to Michigan

    “Earlier this year, the Administration released its Maritime Action Plan: Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance, directing the Coast Guard to make one or more such designations, including in the Great Lakes,” said the lawmakers. “Northern Michigan is an ideal location for this designation given that Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City already possesses the operational expertise, strategic location, and public-private partnerships”

11 rows here have the same law, recipient, purpose and amount as another row. The Congressional Record may print one item more than once. The count and the total include each row.

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.
