Ben Cline

Overview

Representative Ben Cline serves Virginia in the U.S. House and has established himself as a reliably conservative voice within the Republican caucus. His voting patterns show strong opposition to Democratic-led procedural motions and legislation, as evidenced by his consistent 'nay' votes on ordering previous questions and agreeing to resolutions during periods of Democratic House control. Cline's voting record shows particular engagement with healthcare policy, where he has voted on 32 measures with approximately 41% 'yea' votes, suggesting selective support for certain healthcare-related legislation while opposing others. His 100% 'yea' rate on defense matters, though based on limited votes, indicates strong support for military-related initiatives. On budgetary matters, Cline has shown a mixed approach with a 44% 'yea' rate, reflecting the complex negotiations that often characterize fiscal legislation. His agricultural votes, relevant to his Virginia district, show a more conservative approach with a 33% 'yea' rate on recorded votes.
