Rouzer has spent years focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
01
Federal disaster relief frameworks warrant legislative reformRouzer sponsored the Disaster Assistance Fairness Act (H.R.834) and the Natural Disaster Recovery Program Act of 2025 (H.R.316), both addressing how federal disaster assistance programs are structured and administered. North Carolina's 7th district includes coastal and rural areas historically exposed to hurricane impacts, and both bills were introduced as reintroductions of prior legislation.
02
Federal role in education should be reducedRouzer sponsored the States' Education Reclamation Act of 2025 (H.R.369), a reintroduced measure that would alter the federal government's role in elementary and secondary education. The bill attracted 12 cosponsors in the current Congress. He also sponsored the Voluntary School Prayer Protection Act of 2025 (H.R.370), which addresses prayer in public schools.
03
Federal benefit programs should include eligibility requirementsRouzer sponsored the Securing Strictly Needy Americans' Pivotal (SNAP) Benefits Act of 2025 (H.R.1398) and the Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients Act (H.R.372), both of which propose conditions or modifications to federal assistance program eligibility. Both bills are reintroductions of earlier legislation.
04
Immigration enforcement and asylum processes need changesRouzer sponsored the Asylum Accountability Act (H.R.698), which addresses the federal asylum adjudication process, and the Safe and Open Streets Act (H.R.4015), related to public safety. He also sponsored the Protect Our Judiciary Act of 2025 (H.R.5721), which concerns the federal judiciary in a related enforcement context. All three are reintroduced bills.
05
Lumbee Tribe merits federal recognitionRouzer sponsored the Lumbee Fairness Act (H.R.474), which would extend full federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. The bill is a reintroduction of legislation filed in prior Congresses and has attracted 11 cosponsors in the current session.

01 · Background
Who they are, where they came from
David Rouzer represents North Carolina's 7th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, a seat he has held since January 2015. Before his election to Congress, Rouzer served in the North Carolina General Assembly as a state senator representing Johnston County and Wayne County in the 12th district of the North Carolina Senate. In Congress, Rouzer has sponsored legislation spanning federal education policy, tax administration, social welfare programs, immigration, the judiciary, public safety, disaster recovery, and tribal recognition. He sponsored the Lumbee Fairness Act (H.R.474), which addresses federal recognition for the Lumbee Tribe, and the Disaster Assistance Fairness Act (H.R.834) and Natural Disaster Recovery Program Act of 2025 (H.R.316), both addressing federal disaster relief frameworks. On taxation, he introduced the No Hires for the Delinquent IRS Act (H.R.371). On social programs, he sponsored the Securing Strictly Needy Americans' Pivotal (SNAP) Benefits Act of 2025 (H.R.1398), the Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients Act (H.R.372), and the States' Education Reclamation Act of 2025 (H.R.369). He also introduced the Asylum Accountability Act (H.R.698), the Safe and Open Streets Act (H.R.4015), the Voluntary School Prayer Protection Act of 2025 (H.R.370), the Protect Our Judiciary Act of 2025 (H.R.5721), and the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act of 2025 (H.R.3824). Two of his amendments — HAMDT.98 and HAMDT.545 — were agreed to by voice vote in successive Congresses. On final passage of H.R.82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, Rouzer voted against the measure, a vote that diverged from the majority of his party.
