Joy Powers asked for three debates across Virginia's 9th District. Griffith said no in writing: 'I do not need a jointly negotiated format to tell voters what I believe. They already know.'
Andrew Clyde led a brief filed September 4 telling the justices that a rifle's usefulness in war is a reason to protect it, not a reason to restrict it. Fifty-seven of the signers have a report card on this site.
The House returned from recess and spent its week on socialism resolutions, mining permits, whales, the Supreme Court, and a bill punishing colleges for boycotting Israel. Nobody voted on the premiums that just went up 58%. Here is every Republican with a report card who voted yes.
H.Res. 1490 passed 220-192. It changes no law and spends no money. Its one concrete demand is the SAVE America Act, a proof-of-citizenship rule of the kind Kansas tried — where 31,089 people could not register, against 39 confirmed noncitizens the state found in the previous 14 years. 189 members with a page on this site voted yes.
The House voted September 2 on a constitutional amendment freezing the Supreme Court at nine justices. The Constitution never set that number — Congress did, and has changed it five times. Here is every Republican with a report card who voted yes.
H.R. 8646 passed 213-210 on June 4. It comes in $380 million below last year and, in the Appropriations Committee's own words, reduces salaries and expenses "to account for staffing reductions" — the nearly 4,300 FDA and roughly 900 meat-inspection jobs already gone. 188 members with a page on this site voted yes. Four voted no.
H.R. 1232 would delete the part of federal labor law that lets a union and an employer agree everyone covered by a contract helps pay for it — in all 50 states, whatever each state decided. Missouri voters killed right-to-work 67-33. Michigan repealed it. Their congressmen signed anyway.
Two executive orders, plus an earlier move against TSA screeners, stripped collective bargaining from 84.4% of the unionized federal workforce. A bipartisan bill to restore it passed the House 231-195 — every Democrat for it, 195 Republicans against — and the Senate has sat on it for eight months.
Republicans put a 12-year cap on congressional service to a House vote in 1995. Four of these men were there for it. Two of them are now in year 45. And five Republicans currently cosponsor a three-term cap while serving their 7th, 10th and 17th terms.
A third of central Appalachian coal miners with 25 years underground now have black lung. The rule that would have cut their dust exposure in half is frozen in court because the Trump administration declined to defend it. Southwest Virginia's congressman chairs the House health subcommittee.
A Texas judge threw out the registration rules for silencers and short-barreled rifles. Six days later, Andrew Clyde — who owns two gun stores — led a letter asking DOJ to skip the appeal and stop enforcing the law nationwide. Thirty-three of the signers have report cards here.
ICE plans to spend up to $20 million on gloves that deliver painful electric shocks — ten times what Susan Collins points to as the de-escalation reform that justified her vote. Here are the 201 Republicans with report cards on this site who voted for the money.
H.R. 9724 would strip automatic citizenship from children born in Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Marianas to parents who are neither citizens nor green-card holders. Guam's leaders invited him to come see the island. His office hasn't answered their questions either.
Dominion's own numbers say the Wise County plant will cost ratepayers at least $472 million this decade while running at a fraction of its capacity. Griffith wrote the governor to keep it open.
He chairs the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health. Clinics inside eight Southwest Virginia schools shut down in July, and Virginia's community health centers asked him to intervene.
On June 9, 2026, the House passed S. 2 by 214 to 212. At that margin every single Republican yes vote was the deciding vote. Here are the 187 still in their races who have report cards on this site.
A Wall Street Journal investigation found ICE is paying contractors millions to scan social media around the clock, then using subpoenas to unmask Americans who criticize the agency. Nobody has been charged. That may be the point.
On July 23 the House voted 214-208 to order U.S. forces out of Trump's unauthorized war with Iran. These 182 Republicans we track voted no — the second time Congress has told the president to stop, and the second time they tried to stop Congress from saying it.
Days after the Supreme Court said Trump couldn't end birthright citizenship by executive order, Reps. John McGuire and Morgan Griffith rushed in with bills to do it through Congress instead.
The House passed the 'Reliable Power Act,' handing federal energy regulators the power to stall EPA rules on power-plant pollution. Here's every Republican with a report card who voted yes.
DOGE wiped out 23,500 civilian federal jobs in Virginia, and he says he believes the House will write those cuts permanently into law. He calls in-person town halls 'inefficient' — and skipped the 'empty chair' one his constituents held without him.
The Senate blocked the fix and the House passed a fake one. Here's every Republican we track who voted to let ACA premiums more than double.
