Health Care AffordabilityBacked 1 of 9

Extend ACA Subsidies Three Years
Extends the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits through 2028. Monthly premiums stay lower for people who buy their own coverage on the marketplace.

Democrats100%Republicans8% - Voted yes
Market-Based Premium Relief
The House Republicans' health package. It expands association health plans, lets employers fund workers' own coverage, funds ACA cost-sharing payments, and adds PBM transparency rules. It does not extend the enhanced subsidies.

Make ACA Subsidies Permanent
Makes the enhanced ACA premium tax credits permanent. More people qualify for marketplace subsidies, and the subsidies stay larger, for good.

Rein In Drug Middlemen
Reins in the pharmacy benefit managers who sit between drugmakers and pharmacies. It curbs tactics like “spread pricing,” requires PBMs to pass manufacturer rebates through to health plans, and unlinks their pay from a drug's list price.

Rescind Enacted Spending
Cancels money Congress has already approved. The 2025 version clawed back about $9 billion, mostly from foreign aid and public broadcasting, and was signed into law.

Democrats0%Republicans99% - Not on record
Restore Impoundment Power
Repeals the 1974 law that bars a president from refusing to spend money Congress has appropriated. It would let the president “impound” funds, that is, decline to spend them, to hold down federal outlays.
Backed it, share of today’s members
Democrats0%Republicans11% - Voted yes
Constitutional Spending Cap
A constitutional amendment capping total federal spending in a year at the average revenue collected over the prior three years, forcing the budget toward balance over time. It would also require a two-thirds vote of both chambers to raise any tax. The House voted on it in 2026 and it fell short of the two-thirds required.

Bipartisan Fiscal Commission
Creates a bipartisan commission of lawmakers and outside experts to write a plan to stabilize the debt, with a guaranteed up-or-down vote in Congress. It doesn't choose the spending cuts or tax increases itself; it forces a process to decide.

Drug AddictionBacked 3 of 5
- Voted yes
Permanently Schedule Fentanyl-Related Drugs
Permanently places all fentanyl-related substances into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, the most tightly controlled category, so making or selling any chemical cousin of fentanyl carries the same penalties as fentanyl itself. Before this, the class was scheduled only under temporary orders that had to be renewed.

Sanction Chinese Fentanyl Suppliers
Widens the definition of a “foreign opioid trafficker” to cover Chinese people and entities that make or sell the chemicals used to produce fentanyl, so the government can impose financial sanctions on that supply chain.

Reauthorize the Addiction Grant Programs
Reauthorizes the federal government's main set of grant programs for preventing and treating substance use disorders through 2030: money for youth prevention, recovery housing, peer-support and recovery services, overdose-reversal drugs, and loan repayment for addiction-treatment providers.

Prescribe Addiction Medications by Telehealth
Permanently lets clinicians prescribe medications for opioid use disorder, such as buprenorphine, over telehealth, without requiring an in-person visit first. It makes permanent a flexibility that began during the pandemic.

Let Pharmacies Dispense Methadone
Lets addiction specialists prescribe methadone for opioid use disorder and lets ordinary pharmacies fill it, breaking the current rule that methadone for addiction can be dispensed only at federally licensed opioid-treatment clinics.

Most members of Congress do not trade individual stocks. Those who do disclose each trade under the STOCK Act, and we track it. Stefanik has none on record.

Democrats74%Republicans71%Independents-Voters: U. of Maryland PPC, June 2022
Voters asked: Ban former senior Executive Branch officials from lobbying on behalf of a foreign government for the rest of their life.
How this is scored
Each marked row names what the member did: sponsored or cosponsored a bill carrying the reform, signed a discharge petition to force one to the floor, or cosponsored a prior version in a previous Congress while still serving today. Not on record means there is no documented signal. The member may still support or oppose; we have no evidence either way. Floor votes are not yet wired in, so nobody is marked Opposes.
Several reforms have bills carried almost entirely by one party. That makes the headline percentage a measure of cosponsorship on these specific bills, not a measure of underlying agreement with the reform. A 0% figure for one party often means “has not cosponsored this vehicle,” not “opposes the reform.”
Sponsored and cosponsored
What Stefanik puts a name on.
270 measures on Stefanik’s record in the 119th Congress: 29 sponsored, 241 cosponsored.
No area holds more than 13% of Stefanik’s record; the largest is Government Operations and Politics.
Cosponsoring puts a member’s name on a text. It is a public position, not a vote, and not a promise of one.
Most cosponsorships are signed when the measure is introduced; a row says so only when the name was added later, or withdrawn.
A policy area that does not appear here is one Stefanik has not put a name on in this Congress. That is silence, not opposition, and it is left blank rather than counted.
The Library of Congress files each measure under one policy area; the shares cover the 270 of 270 measures on this record that carry one. It adds finer legislative subjects to only part of the corpus: the subjects cover 106 of 270, and show the 10 most common of 319.

Where Stefanik sits
Among the House.
Stefanik votes further right than 54% of the House. Each mark is one of the 437 representatives sitting today, placed by how often they vote with each other rather than by anything we think of them.
DW-NOMINATE, the standard academic measure, computed by Voteview at UCLA over the 119th Congress and read here as of August 2026. It is built only from recorded votes: 466 of them for Stefanik. It says who votes together, not who is right.
