This voting pattern across multiple fiscal-year spending vehicles represents the most consistent single thread in his recorded legislative activity.

- 03Sponsors bill restricting federal abortion-related fundingFranklin sponsored HR.727, the Prohibiting Abortion Industry's Lucrative Loopholes Act, a reintroduced bill currently in committee. The bill addresses the use of federal funds in connection with abortion-related activities.
- 04Supports domestic orange juice production protectionsFranklin sponsored HR.933, the Defending Domestic Orange Juice Production Act of 2025, a reintroduced bill currently in committee. The bill addresses conditions affecting domestic orange juice producers, a matter of particular relevance to Florida's agricultural sector.
