What they stand for
Babin has spent years focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports statutory limits on birthright citizenshipBabin sponsored H.R.569, the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025, which would restrict the automatic conferral of citizenship at birth to children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. The bill, introduced in committee with 50 to 99 cosponsors, represents a reintroduction of legislation Babin has carried across multiple Congresses.
- 02Supports disaster-related economic relief frameworkBabin sponsored the REDI Act in two versions—H.R.2028 and H.R.1202—addressing economic recovery in disaster-affected areas. H.R.2028 attracted 100 to 199 cosponsors and was referred to committee; H.R.1202 carried 50 to 99 cosponsors. The bill has been reintroduced across multiple Congresses, indicating sustained legislative priority.
- 03Opposed continuing appropriations measures that became lawBabin voted against final passage of H.R.5860, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024, and H.R.2872, a further continuing appropriations measure for the same fiscal year. Both bills became law. On both votes, Babin's position was against the majority of his party in the House.
- 04Voted against the fiscal year 2024 defense authorizationBabin voted against final passage of H.R.2670, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024, a bill that ultimately became law. His vote was recorded against the majority of his party in the House on that final passage roll call.
- 05Supports limiting federal reparations-related expendituresBabin introduced H.R.2100, the No Bailouts for Reparations Act, which would restrict federal funds from being used for reparations programs. The bill has been referred to committee and represents a reintroduction of prior legislation.

01 · Background
Who they are, where they came from
Brian Babin represents Texas's 36th congressional district, which encompasses much of southeastern Houston, its eastern suburbs, and exurban and rural areas to the east. A dentist by profession and a member of the Republican Party, Babin has held this seat since January 2015. In the House, he has focused legislative attention on immigration policy, sponsoring the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025 (H.R.569), which would alter the application of birthright citizenship, as well as the REDI Act (H.R.2028 and H.R.1202), a bill reintroduced across multiple Congresses addressing disaster-related economic issues. He also introduced the Dialysis-Related Amyloidosis Treatment Act of 2025 (H.R.4055) and the No Bailouts for Reparations Act (H.R.2100). On appropriations and defense measures that ultimately became law, Babin voted against his party on several final passage votes, including the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024 (H.R.5860), the Making Further Continuing Appropriations measure (H.R.2872), and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (H.R.2670). He also voted against final passage of the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act (H.R.4984) and the Billie Jean King Congressional Gold Medal Act (S.2861), both of which became law.
