Cosponsored H.R.299 and H.R.550 to honor and recognize Blue Water Navy and WWII Merchant Mariners veterans.

Americans who answer the call to serve in our armed forces, deserve our utmost appreciation and support. During my time in Congress, I have cosponsored dozens of pieces of legislation to support our veterans. Over my legislative career, many of these bills have been signed into law, including the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act and the Henrietta Lacks Enhancing Cancer Research Act. In the Senate, I will continue to work with the Trump administration to ensure that America’s veterans receive the greatest care and opportunity America can afford them.

Cosponsored H.J.Res.22 for a balanced budget amendment to address national debt and curb spending.
source ↗ (opens the page at this passage) · hernforsenate.com
I am Oklahoma proud – if a balanced budget is good for the Oklahoma Constitution, it is necessary for the U.S. Constitution. Over my career in Congress, I have cosponsored balanced budget amendments, authored federal budgets that tackle run-away deficit spending, and recently voted for H.J. Res. 139, which would amend the Constitution to require Congress to balance the federal budget. Our national debt is a threat to our national security and to the future of our children – I believe we must rein in government spending to reverse our government’s current unsustainable financial course.

Voted for H.R.695 to fund border wall and cosponsored H.R.768 to defund sanctuary campuses.

President Trump inherited the worst border crisis in American history and, in under a year, reduced border crossings to historic lows. I am proud to have voted for historic funding and investment for our border security in the One Big Beautiful Bill, which helped provide the Trump administration with the resources they need to keep our border secure and the American people safe. I authored legislation included in the One Big Beautiful Bill, the WIRED Act, based on Oklahoma’s successful policy taxing wire transfers sent out of the country to fund our border security. I have also cosponsored many pieces of legislation to codify President Trump’s border policies including the Remain in Mexico Act, which would require aliens who are not clearly admissible to return to Mexico while awaiting their immigration proceedings, rather than being released into the United States interior with no accountability, as was done by the Biden administration.

Advocating for small business capital access and opposing policies that harm free enterprise.
source ↗ (opens the page at this passage) · hernforsenate.com
I am working in the Small Business committee to make sure that businesses have the capital access they need to start and grow companies for American workers, and I am pushing back against the Left’s harmful policies that would inhibit free-enterprise and encourage government dependency.

Cosponsored H.Res.637 to protect Christmas symbols and opposed removing “so help me God” from oath.

I believe that our freedom is God given – not government granted. During my time as chairman of the largest conservative caucus in the House of Representatives, I was proud to advocate for policies that defend religious institutions from government discrimination, preserve conscience rights for health care providers, protect parental rights to raise our children in accordance with our beliefs, and prohibit federal funding for abortion and gender experimentation on children.

Cosponsored HR 369, HR 20, HR 616, and HR 962 to protect human life and limit abortion funding.

The value of life and liberty have been imprinted on the national conscience since America’s founding. When our Founding Fathers declared independence, they acknowledged the inalienable rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” As a Christian, I have always defended the sanctity of life because I believe that every person is created in the image of God. I am a proud cosponsor of pro-life legislation such as the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, along with legislation to reverse the Biden-era expansion of chemical abortion. I will always champion the strong pro-life protections guaranteed by the state of Oklahoma and advocate for Congressional policy that protects the lives of the unborn.

Opposed H.R.1 to limit federal overreach, protect free speech, and state election control; cosponsored H.R.949.
source ↗ (opens the page at this passage) · hernforsenate.com
I voted against the Democrats so-called For the People Act (H.R.1) which would interject more Washington cronyism between voters and the ballot box, restrict their first amendment rights, and limit our states’ authority to administer their own electoral process. In addition, I cosponsored the Free Speech Fairness Act (H.R.949) to provide protections for tax-exempt organizations exercising free speech in the electoral process.

Cosponsored H.R.38 for concealed carry reciprocity; voted against H.R.8 and H.R.1112 to protect Second Amendment rights.

I am a proud supporter of the 2nd Amendment. During my time in Congress, I have been resolute in resisting Washington Democrat’s attempts to infringe on the rights of law-abiding Americans. I have consistently cosponsored the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, along with legislation to roll back burdensome National Fire Arms (NFA) Act regulation and fees on suppressors, short barreled rifles, and short barreled shot guns, including the SHORT Act and the Hearing Protection Act.

I am a proud cosponsor of H.J.Res.12, a proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to limit the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve. I believe that the government will function most effectively when Congress returns to a body of citizen-legislators, rather than lifetime politicians.

In Congress, I am fighting Democrat obstructionists who want to do our President harm and take away all that he has accomplished in his first term. I also stood with the President by voting against the Democrats’ resolution to overturn his national emergency order to build the wall on our southern border (H.J.Res. 46).

Under Joe Biden the American people suffered under historic levels of inflation due to the failed policies and runaway spending of the Biden administration. In just one year, President Trump has lowered core inflation by about 70 percent. In Congress, I have remained committed to providing more economic opportunity and lower costs for all Americans. I worked with President Trump and my House Republican colleagues to ensure that we not only extended President Trump’s historic tax cuts, but found new areas to cut taxes for seniors, hardworking Americans, and families. I also authored tax cuts which President Trump signed into law to enhance private sector investment in factories and American manufacturing while bringing business back to the United States.

Official FEC filing record for the current cycle. The priorities they publish are quoted from their own site, in their order.
Statements are quoted from these pages exactly. Headings, order and wording are the campaign’s; the record marking is ours.
The 12 largest committees by total given are listed. In all, 309 committee contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $1M. Counted from the givers' own filings, which can run above the total the campaign itself reports.
Total reported receipts $10,862,233
Every dollar the committee reported receiving this cycle, split by the source the FEC filing attributes it to. Open a source marked + to see who gave. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
The campaign also refunded $57,045 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.
Total itemized disbursements $51,262
Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
All 30 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
1 payment was reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $7,599 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| 3 payments · 0.3% of all spending | $25,384 |
| 1 payment · 0.1% of all spending | $8,870 |

| 1 payment · <0.1% of all spending | $90 |
The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
