What they stand for
Dunn has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports expanded insurance coverage for birth defect treatmentDunn sponsored the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act (HR.3277), which would require health insurance plans to cover reconstructive services for individuals born with cleft lip, cleft palate, and other congenital anomalies affecting the mouth and face. The bill attracted between 100 and 199 cosponsors and was referred to committee.
- 02Sponsors legislation to limit federal regulatory reachDunn sponsored the 10th Amendment Restoration Act of 2025 (HR.2677), a reintroduced measure aimed at reasserting state authority relative to federal regulatory power. He also sponsored a joint resolution of congressional disapproval (HJRES.38) under the Congressional Review Act, targeting a specific federal rule for nullification.
- 03Backs transparency requirements for generic drug labelingDunn sponsored HR.1843, a reintroduced bill to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to increase transparency in generic drug labeling. The legislation was referred to committee. His medical background in surgery corresponds with his recurring sponsorship of health-related legislative proposals.
- 04Opposes expanding Social Security and federal appropriationsDunn voted against final passage of the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 (HR.82), which became law, and voted against a continuing appropriations resolution (HR.2872), also enacted. In both instances his vote was against the majority of his party's House members. He also voted against the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act (S.1351), which became law.
- 05Addresses disaster relief, space leadership, and China competitionDunn sponsored the Connecting Communities Post Disasters Act of 2025 (HR.3960) to address communications infrastructure following natural disasters, the FEMA Loan Interest Payment Relief Act (HR.2836) to ease costs on disaster-affected communities, the Secure U.S. Leadership in Space Act of 2025 (HR.3142), and the Ending China's Unfair Advantage Act of 2025 (HR.2115), all reintroduced measures referred to committee.

Who they are, where they came from
Neal Patrick Dunn represents Florida's 2nd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, a seat he has held since January 3, 2017. A member of the Republican Party, Dunn is a surgeon who served in the United States Army for eleven years, attaining the rank of major before transitioning to a career in medicine and, later, public service. His legislative work reflects his medical background and military experience across a range of policy areas. In the 118th Congress, Dunn sponsored the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act (HR.3277), which attracted more than 100 cosponsors and advanced through committee, and sponsored the REPAIR Act (HR.906), which drew between 50 and 99 cosponsors and also moved through committee. In subsequent sessions he reintroduced the REPAIR Act as HR.1566.
