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, Johnson has a recorded vote on 38 laws that passed.
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 Johnson is a member. The rest passed the Senate by voice vote or without objection, which records no individual votes.
Johnson 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 Rescissions Act of 2025, which cancelled about $9 billion in approved spending; the defense policy law for fiscal year 2026; the Secure America Act, a 2026 budget law; and the Russia and Iran sanctions law.
On funding the government, Johnson votes Yes on the March 2025 full-year funding law, the November 2025 law that ended the 43-day shutdown and the September 2026 funding extension, and No on the January 2026 funding law for science, energy, Interior and the EPA, and the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies.
Johnson votes No on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
Congress cancelled 24 federal rules by recorded vote in the Senate in that time. Johnson votes to cancel 23 and against cancelling 0, and did not vote on 1. The rules Johnson votes to cancel come from: Interior: Bureau of Land Management (7), Environmental Protection Agency (6), Energy (4), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (2), Treasury: Comptroller of the Currency (1), Interior: National Park Service (1), Treasury: Internal Revenue Service (1) and Interior: Ocean Energy Management (1).
On all 34 Yes votes Johnson votes the same way as most Senate Republicans. On all 3 No votes Johnson votes differently from most of them.
Johnson did not vote on the law that cancels a District of Columbia law that changed how D.C.'s income and business taxes follow federal tax rules.
