Voted against agreeing to the Senate's version of House Bill 8, which tightened Alabama's vaping rules to keep vapes away from people under 21. Vapes not authorized by the federal Food and Drug Administration may be sold only in licensed vape specialty stores, which must keep out anyone under 21 and check every ID at the door. The law also banned vape ads with candy or cartoon themes, raised license fees and fines, and made every public school adopt a vaping prevention policy. The Alabama House of Representatives agreed 52-43 over these votes and the bill became law.

Voted against passing House Bill 234, called Alyssa's Law, which would have given school staff wearable panic buttons that call police directly. By October 2030, and only if the state set aside money for it, every school board and charter school would have had to decide which staff carry a device, hand them out, and train people to use them. The device would have had to report the caller's location down to the room and floor, and the state school board would have approved the vendors. The Alabama House of Representatives passed it 58-30 over these votes, but the Senate never voted on it and the bill died when the session ended.

Voted against passing House Bill 36, which would have made it a Class C felony to have a pistol fitted with a part that turns it into a machine gun. Police on duty were excepted, and so were parts properly listed on the federal firearms register. Parts that only speed up a pistol, without letting one pull of the trigger fire more than one shot, were not covered. The House passed it 60-38 over these votes, but the Senate never voted on it and the bill died when the session ended.
