Civil rights and liberties44 actions
Raskin's voting record on civil rights and liberties reflects inconsistency across several distinct issue areas. On transgender participation in school athletics, Raskin voted to restrict such participation while also voting against a similar restriction, creating an unclear position on the civil liberties implications of these policies. Regarding Jewish civil rights protections, Raskin voted against three bills addressing antisemitism and religious discrimination—including measures to correct military grave markers and condemn campus harassment—while supporting a resolution condemning political violence and a Capitol space designation for Holocaust remembrance. On surveillance and privacy, Raskin supported manufacturer disclosure requirements for smart device capabilities. Raskin also voted to support committee restrictions on a legislator and formal censure of another representative, measures that raise questions about legislative speech and expression rights, while opposing the formal disapproval of another representative's statements on foreign policy grounds. Additionally, Raskin voted against measures protecting disabled veterans' access to services and opposed Second Amendment-related resolutions, while supporting restrictions on tax-exempt organizational status through terrorism designations.
Criminal justice44 actions
Raskin's criminal justice voting record reflects consistent support for constraints on law enforcement expansion and resistance to sentencing enhancements. He voted against multiple bills that would have increased criminal penalties for drug offenses, restricted juvenile justice protections, or expanded law enforcement tools such as less-lethal weapons access and expedited drug scheduling authority. Raskin voted in favor of measures focused on drug treatment coordination, human trafficking prevention, police officer mental health support, and fraud prevention in federal assistance programs. His votes opposing bail bond regulation, police use-of-force restrictions, and increased penalties for impaired driving deportation indicate a pattern of supporting defendants' procedural protections and resisting the criminalization of immigration status. Overall, Raskin's record prioritizes preserving sentencing flexibility and juvenile protections while endorsing targeted enforcement against human trafficking and financial fraud.
Economy and labor64 actions
Raskin's voting record on economic and labor matters reflects consistent support for public infrastructure investment, worker protections, and small business development. He voted to expand small business access to financing and capital markets, including securities investment opportunities and dedicated support for Native American entrepreneurs and disaster-affected rural businesses. He backed multiple authorizations for federal funding in transportation, water systems, broadband expansion, and space exploration infrastructure, along with preservation of historical sites and parks. Raskin voted to restore collective bargaining rights for federal employees on two separate occasions, blocking executive orders that had limited union protections in certain agencies. He also supported strengthening workplace standards through expanded NIST oversight of construction safety and potential wage protections for tipped workers. His opposition centered on measures that would restrict retirement plan fiduciaries from considering environmental and social factors in investment decisions and on provisions that would limit labor accountability across multiple employers or reduce small business lending competition.
Education20 actions
Raskin's education voting record reflects support for federal funding expansions, student financial aid accessibility, and targeted educational programs for underserved populations including rural students, veterans, and residents of U.S. territories. He voted to extend rural school funding, advance Holocaust education curricula, accelerate federal financial aid application timelines, and establish connections between career and technical education students and small business employers. Raskin consistently supported measures strengthening veteran educational benefits and institutional accountability in serving that population. His votes opposing curriculum transparency requirements, parental notification policies, and foreign funding disclosure mandates suggest concern that such measures could restrict institutional autonomy or limit educational partnerships. He also voted against blocking the Department of Education's student loan payment pause and forgiveness policy, indicating alignment with debt relief provisions affecting borrower access to education affordability.
Environment and energy128 actions
Raskin's voting record on environmental and energy matters reflects consistent support for regulatory protections and ecosystem conservation while opposing measures that expand extractive industries or weaken federal environmental standards. He voted to preserve EPA authority over vehicle emissions, maintain federal restrictions on coal and oil leasing on public lands, protect water and energy efficiency standards, and block the establishment of advisory bodies favoring fossil fuel interests. Conversely, Raskin supported funding for environmental agencies, marine species rehabilitation, invasive species removal programs, and forest disease research. His record includes votes backing nuclear energy reauthorization and fossil fuel infrastructure research, alongside support for a bill expediting oil and gas projects. Raskin opposed geothermal development expansion on federal lands and voted no on a fracking protection measure, suggesting his environmental positions do not uniformly exclude all energy development approaches. Overall, his voting pattern demonstrates primary alignment with strengthening federal environmental enforcement mechanisms and limiting new extraction on public lands.
Fiscal policy72 actions
Raskin's fiscal policy voting record reflects consistent support for maintaining existing federal spending levels and skepticism toward measures that would impose new fiscal constraints or reduce government revenues. He voted affirmatively on continuing appropriations bills and temporary spending authorizations that preserved prior-year funding without implementing significant budgetary changes. Conversely, Raskin voted against budget resolutions and spending allocation frameworks, as well as measures that would reduce tax revenues through expanded deductions, credits, or exemptions for specific groups or circumstances. He rejected proposals to cap federal spending relative to revenues, to reduce previously appropriated funds, and to limit government borrowing authority, voting instead to support measures that allowed continued collection of existing revenues and maintained spending flexibility. On consumer protection matters within fiscal policy, Raskin voted to require disclosure of hotel and rental fees while opposing efforts to reduce regulatory requirements for financial institutions. He also supported the reduction of mortgage fees for government-sponsored enterprises and rejected congressional overrides of local tax decisions.
Government accountability and transparency168 actions
Raskin's voting record on government accountability and transparency reflects a consistent prioritization of institutional oversight mechanisms and disclosure requirements while demonstrating skepticism of electoral citizenship restrictions and certain regulatory review procedures. He voted affirmatively on measures strengthening agency performance monitoring, requiring federal transparency in agricultural threats, enabling congressional election observers, and mandating disclosure of fees in ticket sales. Raskin supported legislation enhancing departmental accountability through audits of security policies, evaluations of federal purchasing practices, and documentation of government property arrangements. He voted yes on bills increasing transparency regarding settlement agreements, federal prison inspections, postal service safety data, and veterans communication clarity. Raskin also supported measures restricting data brokers from selling personal information to foreign adversaries, requiring centralized publication of proposed regulations, and invoking impeachment as a constitutional accountability tool. Conversely, he voted against multiple bills requiring citizenship proof for voter registration and restricting voting eligibility to citizens in DC elections, as well as measures blocking regulatory rules on bank merger review and small business lending disclosure. Raskin rejected bills designed to facilitate congressional disapproval of executive regulations and those limiting judicial deference to agency expertise, suggesting concern about legislative approaches that bypass substantive review processes. On procedural matters, he voted against rules reducing mechanisms for removing House leadership and against enforcement of congressional subpoenas, positions that appear inconsistent with his broader transparency agenda.
Healthcare48 actions
Raskin's healthcare voting record reflects consistent support for federal health programs and veteran services. He voted affirmatively on legislation expanding substance abuse treatment and mental health funding, advancing VA healthcare access including home and community-based care alternatives, and supporting pediatric disease research and emergency medical services for children. His votes also demonstrate backing for programs addressing veteran-specific health concerns such as cancer tracking in Vietnam veterans, dental provider expansion in underserved areas, and memorial benefits for deceased service members. Raskin voted against measures permitting employers to reimburse individual health insurance policies rather than providing group coverage and against eliminating vaccine requirements for healthcare workers at Medicare and Medicaid facilities. He voted against legislation preventing federal health programs from using disability-based cost calculations, the only healthcare-related vote that limited program expansion in his record.
Immigration42 actions
Raskin's immigration voting record reflects support for select enforcement measures alongside consistent opposition to policies that restrict asylum access or reduce protections for vulnerable immigrants. He voted to expand deportation grounds for assault on law enforcement and supported border security technology investments, but rejected bills that would heighten asylum barriers, increase detention protocols, or penalize jurisdictions resisting federal immigration enforcement cooperation. Raskin voted to extend temporary protected status to Haitian nationals and supported family reunification initiatives for Korean Americans separated by the North-Korea divide. He opposed measures restricting school-based housing for undocumented immigrants and rejected bills that would expand criminal penalties for unauthorized entry or complicate the placement determinations for unaccompanied migrant children in custody.
National security and foreign policy164 actions
Raskin's voting record on national security and foreign policy reflects a complex orientation toward executive authority, allied partnerships, and strategic competition with adversarial states. He consistently supported measures to counter Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional activities, including sanctions on Iranian energy sectors, weapons development, and officials, while also voting to require congressional authorization before military operations against Iran, asserting legislative oversight of military deployment. On China, Raskin voted to restrict technology exports, prevent foreign control of critical infrastructure, establish counterintelligence task forces, and designate malicious applications, though he declined to support restrictions on university-affiliated research relationships with Chinese entities. He endorsed strengthening diplomatic and security partnerships across Southeast Asia, the Indo-Pacific, and the Middle East, including support for Israel and initiatives to advance regional peace agreements, while voting to require congressional approval for broader military operations in Venezuela and against terrorist groups in the Western Hemisphere. Raskin supported sanctions as a foreign policy tool across multiple contexts, voting to target individuals engaged in piracy, foreign officials destabilizing Georgia, Iranian sanctions enforcement, and actors facilitating terrorism financing or drug trafficking. However, his record shows selective opposition to certain executive authorities and military commitments, voting against unilateral presidential flexibility on Iran hostage negotiations, emergency declarations, and military involvement reductions in Somalia and Syria, suggesting prioritization of congressional war powers over executive discretion in some contexts while supporting enhanced sanctions authority in others.
