Voted for H.R. 1 at first House passage on May 22, 2025 (215–214), then accepted the Senate’s version July 3 (218–214). The package extended the 2017 tax cuts, restricted Medicaid and food aid, and raised the debt limit. It became law July 4, 2025. CBO’s preliminary July 1 Senate-bill score reported $3.4 trillion higher deficits for 2025–2034 versus its January 2025 current-law baseline; the separate Senate budget-enforcement baseline produced a $0.4 trillion decrease. The final law added military readiness funds, rescinded unobligated climate-justice and environmental-review funds, and required an asylum application fee without a waiver. CBO’s July 21 enacted-law score also reported $3.4 trillion higher 2025–2034 deficits versus its updated January baseline, comprising $1.1 trillion lower direct spending and $4.5 trillion lower revenues. Its August distributional analysis estimated lower household resources near the bottom of the income distribution and higher resources in the middle and near the top. The initial House version also proposed a ten-year bar on state AI-rule enforcement, with exceptions; the final law omitted it. The final law specified a one-year Medicaid payment ban for covered reproductive-health providers offering abortions beyond rape, incest or life-saving exceptions, subject to a 2023 Medicaid-payment threshold. On April 16, 2026, also voted for H.Res. 1156, endorsing the tax policies of Public Law 119-21. The House adopted the nonbinding resolution 219–207. Earlier, voted for H.Con.Res. 14 on February 25, 2025 (217–215), then accepted its Senate amendment on April 10 (216–214). That budget resolution instructed committees to prepare the reconciliation legislation that became H.R. 1. The House instructions paired a $2 trillion net-deficit-reduction target with a permitted $4.5 trillion Ways and Means deficit increase; the final resolution added separate Senate instructions permitting a $1.5 trillion Finance deficit increase and up to a $5 trillion debt-limit increase. These were legislative instructions; the resolution itself enacted no tax or benefit changes.

Voted for the fiscal-year 2026 defense authorization bill as H.R. 3838 on September 10, 2025 (231–196), then final S. 1071 on December 10 (312–112). It set defense policy, troop levels, military construction and nuclear-security authorizations. The final package also covered State Department, intelligence and Coast Guard authorizations. It became law December 18, 2025. Also supported H.R. 4275, the earlier Coast Guard proposal, on July 23, 2025 (399–12). It proposed funding authorizations for 2025–2029 and a civilian Coast Guard secretary. The final law narrowed those funding authorizations to 2026–2027 and omitted that position. It also made use of the earlier contract-selection procedures optional and removed their three-firm minimum. On September 10, 2025 co-sponsored and spoke for the Lumbee-recognition amendment, adopted by voice vote. The House version also contained his lithium supply-chain report amendment, with a March 1, 2026 deadline.

It did not retain that named lithium-report requirement. The House-passed final package required standards and oversight for military AI models and authorized Israeli missile-defense cooperation and co-production.

Voted for H.R. 1 at first House passage on May 22, 2025 (215–214), then accepted the Senate’s version July 3 (218–214). The package extended the 2017 tax cuts, restricted Medicaid and food aid, and raised the debt limit. It became law July 4, 2025. CBO’s preliminary July 1 Senate-bill score reported $3.4 trillion higher deficits for 2025–2034 versus its January 2025 current-law baseline; the separate Senate budget-enforcement baseline produced a $0.4 trillion decrease. The final law added military readiness funds, rescinded unobligated climate-justice and environmental-review funds, and required an asylum application fee without a waiver. CBO’s July 21 enacted-law score also reported $3.4 trillion higher 2025–2034 deficits versus its updated January baseline, comprising $1.1 trillion lower direct spending and $4.5 trillion lower revenues. Its August distributional analysis estimated lower household resources near the bottom of the income distribution and higher resources in the middle and near the top. The initial House version also proposed a ten-year bar on state AI-rule enforcement, with exceptions; the final law omitted it. The final law specified a one-year Medicaid payment ban for covered reproductive-health providers offering abortions beyond rape, incest or life-saving exceptions, subject to a 2023 Medicaid-payment threshold.

That budget resolution instructed committees to prepare the reconciliation legislation that became H.R. 1. The House instructions paired a $2 trillion net-deficit-reduction target with a permitted $4.5 trillion Ways and Means deficit increase; the final resolution added separate Senate instructions permitting a $1.5 trillion Finance deficit increase and up to a $5 trillion debt-limit increase. These were legislative instructions; the resolution itself enacted no tax or benefit changes.

Voted on June 23, 2026 for H.R. 6644, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (358–32). The housing package included Moore’s TRUST Act provision, doubling from $3 billion to $6 billion the bank asset limit for less frequent examinations. It also changed housing counseling and state and local housing programs. It became law July 11, 2026. Earlier supported the initial housing bill on February 9, 2026 (390–9). On May 20 supported H.R. 3234 reciprocal-deposit changes (405–0), H.R. 4544 bank application-support services (405–4), and H.R. 5317 custodial-deposit exceptions (393–16). Those programmes appeared in the final housing package. The final reciprocal-deposit formula counted liabilities only up to about $96.3 billion; the earlier bill used $250 billion. The earlier standalone bills included deferred Federal Reserve surplus reductions that the final package did not retain. Also supported H.R. 1919 on July 17, 2025 (219–210), which proposed permanent bans on a Federal Reserve digital dollar, retail accounts and testing. The final housing law retained a narrower direct and indirect digital-dollar ban, with a cash-privacy exception and a December 31, 2030 sunset. The final law also authorized an income-limited home-repair grant and loan pilot, excluded veterans’ disability benefits from specified housing-aid income eligibility, and required housing agencies to coordinate reviews. On May 20, 2026, also supported H.Res. 1299 (396–13), which made the House concur in the Senate’s H.R. 6644 text with a House amendment. That stage retained the TRUST bank-examination change and proposed a $115 million Federal Reserve surplus reduction beginning September 30, 2035, omitted from the final housing package.

Voted for H.R. 1 at first House passage on May 22, 2025 (215–214), then accepted the Senate’s version July 3 (218–214). The package extended the 2017 tax cuts, restricted Medicaid and food aid, and raised the debt limit. It became law July 4, 2025. CBO’s preliminary July 1 Senate-bill score reported $3.4 trillion higher deficits for 2025–2034 versus its January 2025 current-law baseline; the separate Senate budget-enforcement baseline produced a $0.4 trillion decrease. The final law added military readiness funds, rescinded unobligated climate-justice and environmental-review funds, and required an asylum application fee without a waiver. CBO’s July 21 enacted-law score also reported $3.4 trillion higher 2025–2034 deficits versus its updated January baseline, comprising $1.1 trillion lower direct spending and $4.5 trillion lower revenues. Its August distributional analysis estimated lower household resources near the bottom of the income distribution and higher resources in the middle and near the top. The initial House version also proposed a ten-year bar on state AI-rule enforcement, with exceptions; the final law omitted it. The final law specified a one-year Medicaid payment ban for covered reproductive-health providers offering abortions beyond rape, incest or life-saving exceptions, subject to a 2023 Medicaid-payment threshold. On April 16, 2026, also voted for H.Res. 1156, endorsing the tax policies of Public Law 119-21. The House adopted the nonbinding resolution 219–207. Earlier, voted for H.Con.Res. 14 on February 25, 2025 (217–215), then accepted its Senate amendment on April 10 (216–214). That budget resolution instructed committees to prepare the reconciliation legislation that became H.R. 1. The House instructions paired a $2 trillion net-deficit-reduction target with a permitted $4.5 trillion Ways and Means deficit increase; the final resolution added separate Senate instructions permitting a $1.5 trillion Finance deficit increase and up to a $5 trillion debt-limit increase. These were legislative instructions; the resolution itself enacted no tax or benefit changes.

The package extended the 2017 tax cuts, restricted Medicaid and food aid, and raised the debt limit. It became law July 4, 2025. CBO’s preliminary July 1 Senate-bill score reported $3.4 trillion higher deficits for 2025–2034 versus its January 2025 current-law baseline; the separate Senate budget-enforcement baseline produced a $0.4 trillion decrease. The final law added military readiness funds, rescinded unobligated climate-justice and environmental-review funds, and required an asylum application fee without a waiver. CBO’s July 21 enacted-law score also reported $3.4 trillion higher 2025–2034 deficits versus its updated January baseline, comprising $1.1 trillion lower direct spending and $4.5 trillion lower revenues. Its August distributional analysis estimated lower household resources near the bottom of the income distribution and higher resources in the middle and near the top. The initial House version also proposed a ten-year bar on state AI-rule enforcement, with exceptions; the final law omitted it.

The package extended the 2017 tax cuts, restricted Medicaid and food aid, and raised the debt limit. It became law July 4, 2025. CBO’s preliminary July 1 Senate-bill score reported $3.4 trillion higher deficits for 2025–2034 versus its January 2025 current-law baseline; the separate Senate budget-enforcement baseline produced a $0.4 trillion decrease.

Voted for H.R. 1 at first House passage on May 22, 2025 (215–214), then accepted the Senate’s version July 3 (218–214). The package extended the 2017 tax cuts, restricted Medicaid and food aid, and raised the debt limit. It became law July 4, 2025. CBO’s preliminary July 1 Senate-bill score reported $3.4 trillion higher deficits for 2025–2034 versus its January 2025 current-law baseline; the separate Senate budget-enforcement baseline produced a $0.4 trillion decrease. The final law added military readiness funds, rescinded unobligated climate-justice and environmental-review funds, and required an asylum application fee without a waiver. CBO’s July 21 enacted-law score also reported $3.4 trillion higher 2025–2034 deficits versus its updated January baseline, comprising $1.1 trillion lower direct spending and $4.5 trillion lower revenues. Its August distributional analysis estimated lower household resources near the bottom of the income distribution and higher resources in the middle and near the top. The initial House version also proposed a ten-year bar on state AI-rule enforcement, with exceptions; the final law omitted it. The final law specified a one-year Medicaid payment ban for covered reproductive-health providers offering abortions beyond rape, incest or life-saving exceptions, subject to a 2023 Medicaid-payment threshold. On April 16, 2026, also voted for H.Res. 1156, endorsing the tax policies of Public Law 119-21. The House adopted the nonbinding resolution 219–207.

The House instructions paired a $2 trillion net-deficit-reduction target with a permitted $4.5 trillion Ways and Means deficit increase; the final resolution added separate Senate instructions permitting a $1.5 trillion Finance deficit increase and up to a $5 trillion debt-limit increase. These were legislative instructions; the resolution itself enacted no tax or benefit changes.

Voted on June 23, 2026 for H.R. 6644, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (358–32). The housing package included Moore’s TRUST Act provision, doubling from $3 billion to $6 billion the bank asset limit for less frequent examinations. It also changed housing counseling and state and local housing programs. It became law July 11, 2026. Earlier supported the initial housing bill on February 9, 2026 (390–9). On May 20 supported H.R. 3234 reciprocal-deposit changes (405–0), H.R. 4544 bank application-support services (405–4), and H.R. 5317 custodial-deposit exceptions (393–16). Those programmes appeared in the final housing package. The final reciprocal-deposit formula counted liabilities only up to about $96.3 billion; the earlier bill used $250 billion. The earlier standalone bills included deferred Federal Reserve surplus reductions that the final package did not retain. Also supported H.R. 1919 on July 17, 2025 (219–210), which proposed permanent bans on a Federal Reserve digital dollar, retail accounts and testing. The final housing law retained a narrower direct and indirect digital-dollar ban, with a cash-privacy exception and a December 31, 2030 sunset. The final law also authorized an income-limited home-repair grant and loan pilot, excluded veterans’ disability benefits from specified housing-aid income eligibility, and required housing agencies to coordinate reviews. On May 20, 2026, also supported H.Res. 1299 (396–13), which made the House concur in the Senate’s H.R. 6644 text with a House amendment. That stage retained the TRUST bank-examination change and proposed a $115 million Federal Reserve surplus reduction beginning September 30, 2035, omitted from the final housing package.
