How Often Does Julia Letlow Vote With Republicans?

Almost always. Across the 40 most recent House roll calls Congress Vote Tracker maps for Letlow, she sided with the Republican majority on 39, a computed party-loyalty score of 97%. Only one vote in the window put her on the opposite side of most of her party. That places her among the more reliable Republican votes in the House and well inside the party's mainstream, in contrast to the handful of GOP members this site tracks for frequent defections.

Her attendance is strong as well: she cast 39 of the 40 votes in the window, a 98% participation rate, missing just one recorded roll call.

Key Votes: How Letlow Voted

The table below collects a representative set of Letlow's recorded votes, each linked to the official House Clerk roll call. Tallies are the full-chamber totals from the Clerk record.

Spending, Immigration, and Regulation

Letlow's Yes votes track the Republican agenda closely. She backed the FENCES Act (220–208) and the RED Tape Act (222–205), two party-line bills that passed on near-party-line margins. On July 21, 2026, she voted for the Republican-written continuing appropriations measure for fiscal year 2027 (H.R. 9770), which passed 220–205, and for the Main Street Act (H.R. 6955), which drew broader support at 270–155.

Her one recorded No on a widely bipartisan bill fits the same pattern: on H.R. 1689, which would designate Haiti for Temporary Protected Status, she voted No as the measure passed 224–204 on Democratic strength. On the near-unanimous safety bills, such as Kari's Law Reporting Act (405–5), she voted Yes with almost everyone else.

How Did Letlow Vote on the Iran War Powers Resolution?

On April 16, 2026, the House took up H.Con.Res. 40, which would have directed the removal of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran that Congress had not authorized. It was one of the closest votes of the year, failing 213–214 by a single vote. Letlow voted No, aligning with the Republican bloc that opposed forcing a withdrawal. The one-vote margin underscores how much each member's position mattered on this resolution.

The Data Picture [Analysis]

Letlow's numbers describe a mainstream House Republican, not a maverick and not a leadership rebel. A 97% loyalty score with a single defection, paired with 98% attendance, is the profile of a member who shows up, votes the party line on contested bills, and joins the large bipartisan majorities on the noncontroversial ones. For a district that leans heavily Republican, that record is a close fit with the electorate.

The interesting texture is in the exceptions. Her No votes cluster on measures that passed with Democratic support, such as the Haiti Temporary Protected Status bill, rather than on intra-Republican fights over spending. That is the opposite of a fiscal-hawk profile like Thomas Massie's, where the defections come on the party's own bills. Letlow's dissents are partisan, not procedural. As new votes post through the rest of the 119th Congress, this scorecard will update her loyalty and attendance figures and add each new roll call to the record.
