David
Schweikert

Schweikert has spent years focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.

• 01
  Opposes continuing appropriations resolutions as enactedSchweikert voted against five separate continuing appropriations measures that ultimately became law: the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024 and Other Extensions Act (H.R.5860), the Further Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024 (H.R.6363), the Extension of Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2024 (H.R.7463), the Making Further Continuing Appropriations for FY ending September 30 measure (H.R.2872), and the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (H.R.9747). In each case his vote diverged from the majority of his party.
• 02
  Sponsored legislation on federal debt transparencySchweikert introduced the DEBT Act (H.R.402), a reintroduced bill currently in committee that addresses federal debt reporting. This sponsorship, alongside his repeated votes against continuing appropriations measures, reflects a consistent record of engagement with federal fiscal and budgetary policy questions across multiple Congresses.
• 03
  Voted against Social Security Fairness Act of 2023Schweikert voted against H.R.82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, on final passage. The bill became law. His vote was against the majority position of his party in that chamber on that vote, making it one of the recorded instances in this Congress where his vote diverged from most House Republicans.
• 04
  Addresses health technology and Medicare fraud preventionSchweikert sponsored the Healthy Technology Act of 2025 (H.R.238) and the Medicare Transaction Fraud Prevention Act (H.R.3996), both reintroduced bills currently in committee. He also introduced the Maintaining Innovation and Safe Technologies Act (H.R.193). These bills collectively address the regulation of health-related technologies and the prevention of fraudulent Medicare transactions.
• 05
  Enacted legislation on Bureau of Reclamation jurisdictionSchweikert sponsored H.R.1607, a bill to clarify federal jurisdiction with respect to certain Bureau of Reclamation pumped storage projects. The bill was enacted into law, representing the highest-scored legislative action in his current citable record and his most direct contribution to enacted federal water and energy infrastructure law.
