Stephen's Positions on Key Issues

Economy

High

Congressman Steve Womack supported the Fiscal Year 2026 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, aimed at expanding housing affordability. He also voted for a full-year spending package that included funding for small business, transportation, and jobs and the economy. Womack noted progress in growing the economy, expanding the labor market, and easing inflation, and defended the economic impact of a foreign pilot training center in Fort Smith.

Congressman Womack said, “In the past year, President Trump has achieved measurable progress in securing the border, reducing the flow of lethal drugs into our communities, expanding American energy production, strengthening national security and global leadership, growing our economy and labor market, and easing inflation. There is still work to be done to address years of weak leadership and misguided policy, but if the past year is any indication, we can expect continued transformational efforts aimed at improving the lives of all Americans now and in the years ahead.” (Congressman Steve Womack, Womack Statement on President Trump’s State of the Union Address, February 24, 2026)

Immigration

High

Stephen Womack voted in favor of S. 1383, the "SAVE America Act," to ensure only American citizens vote in federal elections. He also co-sponsored and voted for H.R. 4038, the American SAFE Act of 2015, prioritizing national security by strengthening vetting policies. He advocates for border security measures, including border wall construction and reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy, and supports programs like Section 287(G) for law enforcement training.

“You don’t have to be right-leaning or left-leaning to understand the complexities of a failed immigration policy in a broken border system, but I think people understand that. We have been dealing with border security issues for decades, and I think at this stage of the game, what I would take would be some incremental progress, whether it’s a ‘remain in Mexico’ policy only.” — Rep. Steve Womack, Talk Business & Politics, March 10, 2024

Healthcare

High

Congressman Stephen Womack voted against the healthcare subsidy extension in 2026. He supported the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, aiming to reform the healthcare system to address rising premiums and overall costs. Womack stated his belief that this act is a step to deliver affordable health care to his constituents through increased transparency, expanded coverage choice, and accessibility.

Our health care system needs reform to address rising premiums and overall health care costs. The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act represents a step in the right direction, aiming to fulfill its namesake through increased transparency measures and provisions that expand coverage choice and accessibility. Had I been in D.C. today, I would have voted in support of this legislation because I believe it is the starting point to deliver affordable health care to Third District Arkansans.” (Congressman Steve Womack, womack.house.gov, December 17, 2025)

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Medium

Stephen Womack voted against restoring the right to abortion access in 2026, receiving a 0% score from the League of Conservation Voters on this issue. He also co-sponsored the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (HB21) in the 119th Congress, which aims to prohibit healthcare practitioners from failing to provide care to a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.

Foreign Policy

High

Stephen Womack voted for the Financial Services and General Government and the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026. He also supported the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act to increase troop pay and strengthen national security. Womack emphasizes the importance of national security and the U.S. military's role in responding to threats. He views events in Eastern Europe as vitally important to the U.S. and supports providing other countries with defensive and offensive weapons against invaders.

“I’ve got a background of 30 years in uniform. For most of my career. I trained to stop Russia in the Fulda Gap. And so if back in those days when we were training, somebody said, ‘Hey, you have an opportunity to help another country execute a conflict against an invading Russia and take them out without committing any U.S. forces, and all they need is a few bullets and some weapons’ and those kinds of defensive weapons and offensive weapons. We would’ve taken that deal and never looked back. But times have changed a little bit. These are now political pinatas. People are beating them up every day, they’re political footballs. At the end of the discussion, I will tell you that what happens in Eastern Europe is a vital importance to the United States of America,” Womack, Talk Business & Politics, March 2024.
