RATINGS of CONGRESS
115th United States Congress, Second Session

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Fellow Conservative,

The American Conservative Union Foundation (ACUF) is proud to present our 2018 Ratings of Congress.
Our Ratings have served as the gold standard for holding Congress accountable for 48 years. These
Ratings of Congress—and our Ratings of all 50 state legislatures—are initiatives of ACU Foundation’s
Center for Legislative Accountability. In all, every year we rate about 8,000 elected officials across 101
legislative chambers across the country.

As a 501(c)(3) educational endeavor, these Ratings serve as a retrospective analysis to explain to voters, the
media, scholars, and activists how lawmakers view the role of government in an individual’s life, and how
consistently each lawmaker applies conservative principles when casting votes.

We wait until the previous session is adjourned before we finalize the bills to be included in our scorecard.
During last year’s session of Congress, our conservative revolution endured historic obstruction to confirm
Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, a vote we have double-weighted due to its monumental
impact on our nation’s judiciary for decades to come.

Senate Democrats also made another push for censorship with a vote to re-impose net neutrality, Obama’s hyper-partisan effort to add duplicative regulations
at the FCC. We double-weighted this vote, too, signaling to Congress that conservatives will not allow the Left to violate our First Amendment rights.

The Left has renewed its commitment to advance socialism in their zeal to fundamentally transform America. With such an important fight ahead, it’s never
been more important for our elected officials to understand the proper role of government. We hope these Ratings will empower Americans everywhere to
engage in the defense of our conservative values and take action to preserve liberty.

Sincerely,

Matt Schlapp

US SENATE VOTE DESCRIPTIONS
1. PN 1341 Confirming Sam Brownback as Ambassador at Large for
International Religious Freedom (Roll Call 23). This vote confirms Sam
Brownback (ACUF Lifetime 92.2%) as the US Ambassador at Large for
International Religious Freedom, whose duties include monitoring
persecution and discrimination on a global scale through the Office of
International Religious Freedom. ACU supported the confirmation of
Brownback who, as a Governor, Senator and Representative of Kansas,
compiled a strong voting record and demonstrated a commitment
to conservative principles. The Senate voted to confirm Brownback on
January 24, 2018 by a vote of 49-49, with Vice President Mike Pence (ACUF
Lifetime 99.6%) voting “Yes” to break the tie.
2. S 2311 Banning Abortions of Pain-Capable Unborn Children (Roll Call 25).
This bill, known as the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, makes
it unlawful to abort pain-capable unborn children. The bill states that
unborn children are pain-capable at 20 weeks of pregnancy and provides
exceptions if the abortion is necessary to save the life of the mother or if
the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest. At this stage in a pregnancy,
unborn babies react to touch, are fully formed and have beating hearts
and functional brains. ACU believes abortion is a human tragedy, supports
restrictions on the practice and supported this bill. The motion to invoke
cloture (end debate) and advance the bill failed on January 29, 2018 by
a vote of 51-46. (Sixty votes were required on legislation and a “Yes” vote
supported the ACU position.)
3. HR 2579 Defunding “Sanctuary Cities” and Strengthening the
Enforcement of Federal Immigration Laws (Roll Call 34). The Toomey
(R-PA, ACUF Lifetime 92.8%) amendment to an unrelated health care
bill establishes the Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act. Under the act,
a portion of a state’s or local government’s federal funding is withheld if
they fail to cooperate with federal immigration authorities or fail to comply
with federal immigration law. ACU supports efforts to force states to
comply with federal authorities as they perform their constitutional role in
enforcing the nation’s immigration laws and supported this amendment.
The motion to invoke cloture (end debate) and advance the amendment
failed on February 15, 2018 by a vote of 54-45. (Sixty votes were required on
legislation and a “Yes” vote supported the ACU position.)
4. PN 367 Confirming Russell Vought as Deputy Director of the Office
of Management and Budget (Roll Call 40). This vote confirms Russell
Vought as Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget. The
position plays a critical role in carrying out the president’s policy agenda
government-wide. ACU supported the confirmation of Vought, who has
fought for the principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility
throughout his career. The Senate voted to confirm Vought on February
28, 2018 by a vote of 49-49, with Vice President Mike Pence (ACUF Lifetime
99.6%) voting “Yes” to break the tie.
5. S 2155 Reforming Devastating Banking and Lending Regulations under
Dodd-Frank (Roll Call 54). This bill modifies some of the devastating
regulations imposed on the financial sector through an Obama-era bill
known as Dodd-Frank, which resulted in 22,000 pages of new regulations.
Some of the reforms under this bill include regulatory relief for both
small and large banks, reduced red tape on mortgage lending, and other
revisions to encourage capital formation. ACU believes no business is “too
big to fail,” supports expanding consumer access to credit and eliminating
regulations under Dodd-Frank that have shuttered numerous banks,
especially small lenders and credit unions, and supported this bill as a step
in the right direction. The Senate passed the bill on March 14, 2018 by a
vote of 67-31.
6. SJ Res. 57 Repealing an Obama-Era Rule that Harms Indirect Auto
Lending (Roll Call 75). This resolution invokes the Congressional Review
Act to overturn an overreaching Obama administration rule that limited
the ability of auto dealers to offer discounted-rate auto loans to customers.
Specifically, the rule related to indirect auto lending and compliance with
the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. ACU supports the overturning of this
Obama-era regulation that has stifled the free market and increased the
cost of auto loans and supported this resolution. The Senate passed the
resolution on April 18, 2018 by a vote of 51-47. (A “Yes” vote supported the
ACU Position.)

US SENATE VOTE DESCRIPTIONS Continued
7. SJ Res. 52 Re-Imposing “Net Neutrality” Regulations on the Internet
(Roll Call 97). This Democrat-led resolution invokes the Congressional
Review Act to re-impose Obama-era “net neutrality” regulations on the
internet. These regulations, which were overturned by Chairman Ajit Pai
and the Federal Communications Commission, are price controls that
prohibit ISPs from charging different rates for faster service or blocking
websites. ACU supports an internet free of government interference,
which has allowed it to thrive since its conception, and opposes heavy-
handed government regulations, such as net neutrality, which have
favored some companies while placing over 1,000 small ISPs at a
competitive disadvantage, and opposed this resolution. The Senate passed
the resolution on May 16, 2018 by a vote of 52-47. This vote was double-
weighted due to the fact it would allow government to retake control of
the internet, a remarkable driver of innovation and free speech.
8. HR 5515 Providing Congressional Oversight of the Committee on Foreign
Investment (Roll Call 123). The Toomey (R-PA, ACUF Lifetime 92.8%)
amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act establishes
congressional oversight of the rulemaking authority of unelected
bureaucrats within the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United
States (CFIUS). Under the bill, all major regulations (including those
with an economic impact of $100 million or greater) are required to
be approved by Congress before their enactment. Additionally, CFIUS
must submit to Congress a written report that contains data, economic
studies and cost-benefit analysis justifying the implementation of any new
regulation. ACU supports increasing government transparency and checks
on the rulemaking power of government agencies and supported this
amendment. The Senate defeated the amendment on June 14, 2018 by a
vote of 35-62.
8 AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2018 Ratings of Congress | 115th Congress, Second Session
9. HR 5895 Strengthening Property Rights by Repealing the “Waters of
the United States” Rule (Roll Call 138). The Lee (R-UT, ACUF Lifetime
99.5%) amendment to the Energy and Water Appropriations Act repeals
the Obama-era “Clean Water Rule: Definition of ‘Waters of the United
States,’” which provided unelected bureaucrats within the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) carte blanche authority to interpret the definition
of a “navigable waterway.” As a result, the EPA had expanded its jurisdiction
to regulate nearly any water source, including ponds, ditches and even
puddles. ACU Foundation’s Center for 21st Century Property Rights is a
leading voice on this issue and works to ensure the constitutional rights of
all landowners are protected from government overreach. ACU opposes
the unconstitutional action taken by the Obama administration, supports
strengthening property rights and supported this amendment. The Senate
tabled (defeated) the amendment on June 21, 2018 by a vote of 62-34. (A
“No” vote supported the ACU position.)
10. HR 2 Reducing Fraud and Strengthening Work Requirements to Receive
Government Assistance (Roll Call 141). The Kennedy (R-LA, ACUF Lifetime
78.6%) amendment to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (i.e.,
farm bill) helps encourage self-sufficiency by making reforms to the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Some of these
reforms to the food stamp program include updating photo identification
requirements and strengthening work and job training requirements for
single, work-ready adults without children. ACU supports strengthening
work and job training requirements for welfare, which encourages self-
sufficiency and reduces intergenerational poverty and supported this
amendment. The Senate tabled (defeated) the amendment on June 28,
2018 by a vote of 68-30. (A “No” vote supported the ACU position.)
US SENATE VOTE DESCRIPTIONS Continued
11. HR 2 Reducing Cronyism in Agricultural “Checkoff” Programs (Roll Call
142). The Lee (R-UT, ACUF Lifetime 99.5%) amendment to the Agriculture
Improvement Act of 2018 (i.e., farm bill) makes numerous reforms to
“checkoff” programs within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These
programs force all producers of agricultural products to pay into a fund for
industry promotion. The programs are rife with cronyism and oftentimes
reduce competition between producers, particularly at the expense
of small businesses. Some of the reforms under the bill include the
establishment of uniform standards that prohibit anti-competitive activity
within the programs, as well as measures that prohibit employees and
agents of checkoff boards from engaging in activities that pose a conflict
of interest. ACU opposes checkoff programs and supports this measure
to reduce corruption and increase transparency and supported this
amendment. The Senate defeated the amendment on June 28, 2018 by a
vote of 38-57.
12. S 1182 Extending the National Flood Insurance Program (Roll Call 173). This
bill extends government control of the National Flood Insurance Program
through November 30, 2018. The program is over $20 billion in debt, and
the extension lacks any reforms, including reforms to ensure flood maps
are updated and that insurance premiums reflect actual risk. ACU believes
flood insurance should be provided by the private sector and opposes
this program, which discourages flood prevention measures and forces
taxpayers to subsidize the risk of select property owners, and opposed this
bill. The Senate passed the bill on July 31, 2018 by a vote of 86-12.
13. HR 6147 Preventing Overregulation by the FDA in the “Milk” Industry (Roll
Call 177). The Lee (R-UT, ACUF Lifetime 99.5%) amendment to a multi-
agency appropriations bill prevents the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) from inappropriately interfering in the marketplace. Specifically,
the amendment prohibits the FDA from enforcing a rule that prevents
producers of plant-based products (such as almond milk) from using the
word “milk” in its branding (e.g., “almond milk”). The FDA claims its rule is
necessary to protect consumers from confusion, but consumers are not
confused about whether almond milk comes from a cow. Instead, the
FDA’s action is an example of government favoring certain companies over
others. ACU supports a free and competitive marketplace and opposes
unnecessary interference designed to restrict competition and supported
this amendment. The Senate defeated the amendment on August 1, 2018
by a vote of 14-84.
14. HR 6147 Protecting Residents from DC’s Replacement of the Obamacare
Individual Mandate (Roll Call 179). The Cruz (R-TX, ACUF Lifetime 98.3%)
amendment to a multi-agency appropriations bill prohibits any money
appropriated to the District of Columbia from funding the District’s health
care insurance individual mandate. The amendment is in response to
actions taken by the District to establish its own individual mandate
after the Obamacare financial penalty for lacking insurance was zeroed
out under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. ACU has long opposed
Obamacare and its costly provisions, such as the individual mandate,
and supported this amendment. The Senate tabled (defeated) the
amendment on August 1, 2018 by a vote of 54-44. (A “No” vote supported
the ACU position.)
15. HR 6157 Defunding Planned Parenthood and Abortion Providers (Roll Call
191). The Paul (R-KY, ACUF Lifetime 96.6%) amendment to a multi-agency
appropriations bill prohibits federal money from funding entities that
perform abortions, such as Planned Parenthood. ACU believes abortion is
a human tragedy, supports restrictions on the practice and supported this
amendment. The Senate defeated the amendment on August 23, 2018 by
a vote of 45-48.
16. PN 2259 Confirming Brett Kavanaugh as Justice of the Supreme Court
(Roll Call 223). This vote confirms the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh
as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The
nomination is in response to the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy
who was nominated by President Ronald Reagan and served 30 years
on the court. ACU supported the nomination of Kavanaugh, an ardent
defender of the Constitution and equal rights under the law with an
outstanding track record as a United States Circuit Judge for the District
of Columbia, and supported his confirmation. The Senate confirmed
Kavanaugh on October 6, 2018 by a vote of 50-48. The vote is double-
weighted due to the crucial role he will play in upholding the Constitution
as a lifetime member of the Supreme Court. While not voting, Senator
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK, ACUF Lifetime 57.7%) was recorded as opposing
and Senator Steve Daines (R-MT, ACUF Lifetime 85.7%) was recorded as
supporting, based upon the declared positions of both members.
AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2018 Ratings of Congress | 115th Congress, Second Session 9
17. SJ Res. 63 Prohibiting Low-Cost Alternatives to Obamacare (Roll Call 226).
This Democrat-led resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act to
prevent consumers from purchasing short-term limited duration insurance
plans, which are low-cost alternatives to Obamacare. Specifically, the
bill overturns a rule by Department of Health and Human Services that
exands the sale of these plans, that are exempt from many of the costly
mandates under Obamacare, such as the mandate to cover “essential
health benefits.” ACU supports efforts to bypass Obamacare and provide
consumers with greater freedom to purchase the health care plans that
best fit their needs and opposed this resolution. The Senate defeated the
resolution on October 10, 2018 by a vote of 50-50.
20. S 756 Reforming the Criminal Justice System – First Step Act (Roll Call
18. PN 2117 Ensuring Judicial Nominees are Confirmed to the Federal Bench
(Roll Call 258). This roll call confirms Jonathan A. Kobes as the Circuit
Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eight Circuit. The
vote is significant considering Senator Flake (R-AZ, ACUF Lifetime 93.1%)
attempted to blackmail the Senate and oppose all judicial nominees
until a bill protecting the Mueller Investigation was brought to a vote. ACU
supports Kobes and other judicial nominees who have demonstrated
a commitment to defending the Constitution and supported this
nomination. The Senate confirmed Kobes on December 11, 2018 by a vote
of 50-50, with Vice President Mike Pence (ACUF Lifetime 99.6%) voting
“Yes” to break the tie.
10 AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2018 Ratings of Congress | 115th Congress, Second Session
19. SJ Res. 64 Suppressing Free Speech through Donor Disclosure Rules
(Roll Call 260). This Democrat-led resolution invokes the Congressional
Review Act to limit free political speech by requiring certain tax-exempt
organizations to collect and make available to the Internal Revenue
Service the names and addresses of their contributors. Specifically, the
resolution nullifies the Department of The Treasury rule that protects
donor identity (“Returns by Exempt Organizations and Returns by Certain
Non-Exempt Organizations”). ACU opposes efforts to chill free political
speech through donor intimidation and opposed this resolution. The
Senate passed the resolution on December 12, 2018 by a vote of 50-49.
271). This bill, known as the First Step Act, makes numerous reforms to the
criminal justice system to reduce costs, responsibly lower incarceration
rates and improve public safety. The bill focuses on reforming sentencing,
inmate rehabilitation and prison safety. The ACU Foundation’s Nolan
Center for Justice was a leading force behind the passage of the bill and
engages in other federal and state-based initiatives. ACU supports efforts
to reduce recidivism and reform our criminal justice system, which has the
highest incarceration rate in the world, and supported this bill. The Senate
passed the bill on December 18, 2018 by a vote of 87-12.

US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES VOTE DESCRIPTIONS
1. HR 4712 Protecting Children who Survive Abortion (Roll Call 36). This bill,
known as the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, requires all
health practitioners to immediately admit to a hospital any child who
is born alive after an abortion is attempted and failed. Additionally,
practitioners will face criminal penalties if they do not provide the same
degree of care to children who survive abortion as they would any other
child. ACU believes abortion is a human tragedy, supports restrictions
on the practice and supported this bill. The House passed the bill on
January 19, 2018 by a vote of 241-183.
2. HR 620 Reforming the Americans with Disabilities Act to Reduce
Frivolous Litigation (Roll Call 80). This bill helps reduce frivolous
litigation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by providing
businesses with an opportunity to fix a violation before a lawsuit may
be brought against them for ADA noncompliance. Furthermore, the
bill directs the Judicial Conference of the United States to develop an
alternative mediation mechanism that promotes quicker resolutions
of ADA disputes without costly litigation. ACU supports this measure
to promote faster compliance to better meet the needs of people with
disabilities while also reducing costly litigation, which enriches lawyers
at the expense of both businesses and consumers, and supported this
bill. The House passed the bill on February 15, 2018 by a vote of 225-192.
3. HR 1119 Ending the War on Coal through Regulatory Reform (Roll Call
101). This bill eases emissions regulations on power plants that generate
electricity through the burning of coal refuse (a byproduct of coal).
Under the bill, a coal refuse plant is only required to meet certain
standards relating to hydrogen chloride or sulfur dioxide, as opposed
to both. ACU supports all sources of energy and this approach to
regulatory reform, which allows the nation’s 18 coal refuse plants to
remain operational, and supported this bill. The House passed the bill
on March 8, 2018 by a vote of 215- 189.
4. HR 5247 Providing Terminally Ill Patients the Right to Try Investigational
Drugs (Roll Call 121). This bill provides terminally ill patients the right
to try certain investigational drugs that have not yet fully completed
all the clinical trials of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or
been approved by the FDA for sale. ACU believes it is absurd to deny
terminally ill patients the right to try potentially lifesaving drugs and
supported this bill. The House passed the bill on March 21, 2018 by a
vote of 267-149.
5. HR 4 Eliminating the Prevailing Wage Requirement on Federal Aviation
Projects (Roll Call 157). This amendment to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act eliminates the prevailing
wage rate on FAA-contracted projects, as established under the Davis-
Bacon Act. ACU supports the full repeal of the Davis-Bacon Act, a
Depression-era price control that drives up taxpayer costs by mandating
that employees of government contractors be paid artificially high
wages, and supported this amendment. The House defeated the
amendment on April 26, 2018 by a vote of 172-243.
6. HR 4 Eliminating Rural Air Service Subsidies (Roll Call 162). The
McClintock (R-CA, ACUF Lifetime 98.8%) amendment to the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act eliminates the
Essential Air Service Program. This program subsidizes airline flights
from small airports to regional hubs. These flights are largely empty
and cover distances quickly managed by car. ACU opposes the
continued wasteful spending on a “temporary program” that was
originally established 40 years ago to help the airline industry adjust to
deregulation and supported this amendment. The House defeated the
amendment on April 27, 2018 by a vote of 113-293.
7. SJ Res. 57 Repealing an Obama-Era Rule that Harms Indirect Auto
Lending (Roll Call 171). This resolution invokes the Congressional Review
Act to overturn an overreaching Obama administration rule that
limited the ability of auto dealers to offer discounted-rate auto loans
to customers. Specifically, the rule related to indirect auto lending
and compliance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. ACU supports
overturning this Obama-era regulation that has stifled the free market
and increased the cost of auto loans and supported this resolution. The
House passed the resolution on May 8, 2018 by a vote of 234-175.

US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES VOTE DESCRIPTIONS Continued
8. HR 2 Reforming the U.S. Sugar Program to Expand Competition and
Reduce Consumer Costs (Roll Call 193). The Foxx (R-NC, ACUF Lifetime
94.2%) amendment to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018
(i.e., farm bill) makes modest reforms to the U.S. Sugar Program, a
Depression-era policy which is designed to enrich sugar producers
through subsidies and reduced foreign competition, and results in
artificially high sugar prices. Specifically, the bill favors the free market
by eliminating the feedstock flexibility program for bioenergy producers
and reforming the administration of tariff-rate quotas and program loan
rates. ACU supports free trade and free markets and opposes the U.S.
Sugar Program, which harms taxpayers and consumers and places U.S.
sugar processing companies at a competitive disadvantage in the global
market, and supported this amendment as a step in the right direction.
The House defeated the amendment on May 17, 2018 by a vote of 137-
278. The final farm bill failed to include any conservative reforms and
was signed into law December 20, 2018.
9. HR 2 Reducing Fraud and Strengthening Work Requirements to Receive
Government Assistance (Roll Call 195). The McClintock (R-CA, ACUF
Lifetime 98.8%) amendment to the Agriculture Improvement Act of
2018 (i.e., farm bill) encourages self-sufficiency by requiring participation
in work and job training programs for roughly 70 percent of work-ready
adults in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This
amendment changes the bill’s previous requirement that only 20
percent of work-ready SNAP recipients to participate. In addition to
various other reforms, the amendment requires SNAP recipients who
also receive job training to be verified as lawful residents of the country
via the E-Verify system to ensure taxpayer resources are prioritized to
U.S. citizens. ACU supports work and job training requirements that
encourage welfare recipients to become self-sufficient and reduce
intergenerational poverty and supported this amendment. The House
defeated the amendment on May 17, 2018 by a vote of 83-330. The final
farm bill failed to include any conservative reforms and was signed into
law December 20, 2018.
22 AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2018 Ratings of Congress | 115th Congress, Second Session
10. HR 2 Easing Restrictions on the Sale of Unpasteurized Milk (Roll Call 201).
The Massie (R-KY, ACUF Lifetime 90.2%) amendment to the Agriculture
Improvement Act of 2018 (i.e., farm bill) prohibits federal interference
with the interstate traffic of unpasteurized milk between states that
allow its sale. ACU supports “food freedom” and expanding individual
liberties, including the decision to consume unpasteurized milk, and
supported this amendment. The House defeated the amendment on
May 18, 2018 by a vote of 79-331.
11. HR 2 Strengthening Property Rights by Repealing the “Waters of the
United States” Rule (Roll Call 203). The Banks (R-IN, ACUF Lifetime 92.3%)
amendment to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (i.e., farm
bill) repeals the Obama-era “Clean Water Rule: Definition of ‘Waters
of the United States,’” which provided unelected bureaucrats within
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) carte blanche authority
to interpret the definition of a “navigable waterway.” As a result, the
EPA had expanded its jurisdiction to regulate nearly any water source,
including ponds, ditches and even puddles. ACU Foundation’s Center for
21st Century Property Rights is a leading voice on this issue and works
to ensure the constitutional rights of all landowners are protected from
government overreach. ACU opposes the unconstitutional action taken
by the Obama administration, supports strengthening property rights
and supported this amendment. The House passed the amendment on
May 18, 2018 by a vote of 238-173. The final farm bill failed to include any
conservative reforms and was signed into law December 20, 2018.
12. S 2155 Reforming Devastating Banking and Lending Regulations under
Dodd-Frank (Roll Call 216). This bill modifies some of the devastating
regulations imposed on the financial sector through an Obama-era
bill known as Dodd-Frank, which resulted in 22,000 pages of new
regulations. Some of the reforms under this bill include regulatory relief
for both small and large banks, reduced red tape on mortgage lending
and other revisions to encourage capital formation. ACU believes
no business is “too big to fail,” supports expanding consumer access
to credit and eliminating regulations under Dodd-Frank that have
shuttered numerous banks, especially small lenders and credit unions,
and supported this bill as a step in the right direction. The House passed
the bill on May 22, 2018 by a vote of 258-159.
US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES VOTE DESCRIPTIONS Continued
13. HR 3 Rescinding $15 Billion in Unspent Funds (Roll Call 243). This bill,
known as the Spending Cuts to Expired and Unnecessary Programs
Act (i.e., the “Rescissions Package”) rescinds roughly $15 billion
in unspent funds that are sitting idle in various administration
accounts. The rescinded funds include $4.1 billion for the Advanced
Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program, a subsidy to automobile
manufacturers for the production of fuel-efficient vehicles. ACU
supports this rare and modest attempt to reduce our out-of-control
spending (Congress has not rescinded spending in nearly two decades)
and supported this bill. The House passed the bill on June 7, 2018 by
vote of 210-206.
14. HR 5895 Reducing Non-Defense Discretionary Spending by 1 Percent
(Roll Call 251). The Blackburn (R-TN, ACUF Lifetime 95.7%) amendment
to the energy and water appropriations bill calls for a 1 percent across-
the-board cut in non-defense discretionary spending within the bill.
ACU supports this modest spending cut, especially at a time the
country’s budget deficit is approaching $1 trillion per year and the
national debt is topping $22 trillion and supported this amendment.
The House defeated the amendment on June 7, 2018 by a vote of 155-
262.
15. HR 5895 Prohibiting Funding for the Justification of a Carbon Tax. (Roll
Call 253). The Gohmert (R-TX, ACUF Lifetime 94.5%) amendment to the
energy and water appropriations bill prevents any funds from being
used to prepare, propose or promulgate any regulation or guidance
related to the “social cost of carbon,” or the unforeseen risks predicted
by proponents of climate change, including rising health care costs,
destruction of property and reduced tourism. ACU opposes the misuse
of taxpayer funds to advance a politicized global warming agenda and
supported this amendment. The House passed the amendment on
June 8, 2018 by a vote of 212-201.
16. HR 5895 Requiring a Semi-Annual Financial Audit of the GAO and
the Mueller Investigation (Roll Call 254). The Meadows (R-NC, ACUF
Lifetime 95.2%) amendment to the energy and water appropriations
bill requires a semi-annual financial audit of the expenditures of the
Government Accountability Office (GAO) of Independent Counsels,
including the expenditures of the Robert Mueller investigation. The
department previously underwent financial audits but the provision
of law requiring audits was repealed in 2010. ACU supports close
oversight of the expenditure of all taxpayer funds and efforts to increase
government accountability and supported this bill. The House passed
the amendment on June 8, 2018 by a vote of 207-201.
17. HR 4760 Enacting Comprehensive Immigration Reform (Roll Call 282).
This bill includes many of the reforms to the nation’s immigration
system offered by President Trump. The bill provides increased
funding for border security, including a wall or barrier on the U.S.
border with Mexico, and restricts state and local governments from
enacting “sanctuary” policies that prevent the enforcement of federal
immigration law. Additionally, the bill implements programs and
deterrents to reduce illegal immigration, including E-verify and DNA
testing to establish family relationships. Finally, the bill expands
employment-based immigration while eliminating the diversity visa
lottery program and limiting chain migration. ACU supports the
overhaul of our broken immigration system and the further expansion
of employment-based immigration and supported this bill as a step in
the right direction. The House defeated the bill on June 21, 2018 by a
vote of 193-231.
AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2018 Ratings of Congress | 115th Congress, Second Session 23
18. HR 6147 Prioritizing Government Land Maintenance instead of Land
Acquisition (Roll Call 341). The Biggs (R-AZ, ACUF Lifetime 92.3%)
amendment to a multi-agency appropriations bill transfers funds
from the Bureau of Land Management land acquisition account to
the National Park Service maintenance backlog account. The federal
government owns roughly 28 percent of all the lands in the United
States and the National Park Service’s deferred maintenance backlog
currently tops $12 billion. ACU believes it is absurd for the federal
government to continue to acquire land when it can’t manage the
enormous land holdings already under its control and supported this
amendment. The House defeated the amendment on July 18, 2018 by a
vote of 172-237.
19. HR 6147 Reducing Unnecessary Spending – National Endowment for
the Arts (Roll Call 345). The Grothman (R-WI, ACUF Lifetime 93.1%)
amendment to a multi-agency appropriations bill reduces the
appropriation for the National Endowment for the Arts by 15 percent.
ACU supports reducing non-essential government spending, especially
at a time when the nation is $22 trillion in debt and the private
sector contributes billions of dollars to the arts, and supported this
amendment. The House defeated the amendment on July 18, 2018 by a
vote of 114-297.
20. HR 6147 Ensuring Proper Application of the Endangered Species Act
(Roll Call 350). This bill guarantees this problematic law is at least
implemented correctly. Lamborn (R-CO, ACUF Lifetime 96.6%)
amendment to a multi-agency appropriations bill helps ensure the
proper application of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by prohibiting
the use of funds to enforce the provisions under the ESA for any
species of plant or wildlife that has not undergone a five-year review
of its protected status, as is required under the act. The amendment is
intended to ensure that enforcement and taxpayer resources support
only the protection of species truly endangered. The ACU Foundation’s
Center for 21st Property Rights is a leading voice on this issue and others
that deprive Americans of their Fifth Amendment rights. ACU opposes
using the ESA as a means for seizing private land rights and supports
close oversight and a significant reduction in the scope of the ESA,
which has reduced development and infringed on the property rights
of millions of Americans, and supported this bill. The House passed the
amendment on July 18, 2018 by a vote of 213-201.
24 AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2018 Ratings of Congress | 115th Congress, Second Session
21. HR 6147 Eliminating Unnecessary Spending – “Environmental Justice”
Grants (Roll Call 356). The Hice (R-GA, ACUF Lifetime 98.1%) amendment
to a multi-agency appropriations bill eliminates funding for the
Environmental Justice Small Grants Program of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). Funds for this program have often funded
causes for political activism and purposes unrelated to the grant,
including educational programs for “urban gardening” and the
“negative consequences of automobile dependency.” ACU believes
the American people are smart enough to figure out how to plant
seeds without federal money and opposes the use of taxpayer funds
for political advocacy and supports meaningful cuts in government
spending, especially at a time when the nation is $22 trillion in debt,
and supported this amendment. The House defeated the amendment
on July 18, 2018 by a vote of 174-240.
22. HR 6147 Protecting Residents from DC’s Replacement of the Obamacare
Individual Mandate (Roll Call 359). The Palmer (R-AL, ACUF Lifetime
98.0%) amendment to a multi-agency appropriations bill prohibits
any money appropriated to the District of Columbia from funding the
District’s health care individual mandate law. The amendment is in
response to actions taken by the District to establish its own individual
mandate after the Obamacare financial penalty for lacking insurance
was zeroed out under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. ACU has long
opposed Obamacare and its costly provisions, such as the individual
mandate, and supported this amendment. The House passed the
amendment on July 18, 2018 by a vote of 226-189.
23. HR 6147 Prohibiting the Post Office from Competing with the Private
Financial Sector through Expansion of Services (Roll Call 362). The
McHenry (R-NC, ACUF Lifetime 92.8%) amendment to a multi-agency
appropriations bill prohibits the United States Postal Service from using
any funds to expand its offerings of financial services and banking
products. ACU supports meaningful reforms to the postal service
to place it on a sound financial footing and opposes expanding its
duties and competing with the private sector, especially considering
fulfillment of its constitutional purpose is often returned to sender, and
supported this amendment. The House defeated the amendment on
July 18, 2018 by a vote of 201-212.
24. S 756 Reforming the Criminal Justice System – First Step Act (Roll Call
448). This bill, known as the First Step Act, makes numerous reforms
to the criminal justice system to reduce costs, responsibly lower
incarceration rates and improve public safety. The bill focuses on
reforming sentencing, inmate rehabilitation and prison safety. The
ACU Foundation’s Nolan Center for Justice was a leading force behind
the passage of the bill and engages in other federal and state-based
initiatives. ACU supports efforts to reduce recidivism and reform our
criminal justice system, which has the highest incarceration rate in the
world, and supported this bill. The House passed the bill on December
20, 2018 by a vote of 358-36.
25. S 3628 Extending the National Flood Insurance Program (Roll Call 500).
This bill extends the National Flood Insurance Program through May
31, 2019. The program is over $20 billion in debt, and the extension
lacks any reforms, including reforms to ensure flood maps are updated
and that insurance premiums reflect actual risk. ACU believes flood
insurance should be provided by the private sector and opposes this
program, which discourages flood prevention measures and forces
taxpayers to subsidize the risk of select property owners, and opposed
this bill. The House passed the bill on December 21, 2018 by a vote of
315-48.
