Laurel Lee — Republican Candidate for U.S. House in Florida, 2026

Congresswoman Laurel Lee advocates for policies that secure the border and restrict voting to American citizens. She introduced and supported H.R. 8281, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which passed the House to ensure only citizens vote and prevent non-citizens from participating. Lee argues that "President Biden's Border Crisis" poses a threat to the election system and that clear laws are needed for accurate voter rolls.

“American elections are for American citizens only. We all know that President Biden’s Border Crisis poses a clear threat to our elections system, as millions of illegal aliens have poured into our country at record levels. This bill advances much-needed reforms to current voting registration requirements that will allow each state to ensure only American citizens are casting ballots,” said Rep. Laurel Lee (Press Release, http://laurellee.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-laurel-lee-only-americans-should-be-voting-our-elections).”

Laurel Lee voted against extending ACA tax credits for three years. She also voted "Yea" on H.R. 6703, known as the "Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act." This indicates a mixed approach to healthcare legislation.

Laurel Lee has voted against environmental protection measures. She voted to overturn Environmental Protection Agency rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions and supported bills promoting fossil fuel policies, including the Alaska’s Right to Produce Act of 2023. She also supported the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act (H.R.4758) and the Don’t Mess With My Home Appliances Act (H.R.4626). Her record includes backing efforts to weaken wetlands and offshore safety rules.

Laurel Lee voted 'Yea' on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (H.R. 21). She also voted against measures that Reproductive Freedom for All identified as supporting reproductive freedom, including a resolution to reverse Title IX protections and an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act to prohibit reimbursement for abortion services. Additionally, she voted for the Pregnant Students’ Rights Act (H.R.6914).

Laurel Lee voted in favor of the Made-in-America Defense Act (US HB4216) in 2025, a bill designed to bolster domestic defense production. In 2026, she praised President Trump's State of the Union address, advocating for policies to strengthen the economy and ensure community security. She emphasized securing the border and keeping communities safe.

““Tonight, President Trump laid out a forward-looking vision to continue strengthening our economy and expanding opportunity for American families. While we have made meaningful progress, there is more work to do to ensure growth reaches every household and that the momentum continues. For families across Florida’s 15th Congressional District in the Tampa Bay area, I remain focused on building on that progress—lowering costs, supporting small businesses, unleashing American energy, securing our border, and restoring fiscal responsibility in Washington. When we prioritize pro-growth policies, protect our freedoms, and keep public safety at the forefront, we create an environment where hardworking families can thrive. I am committed to continuing that work and delivering results that keep our economy strong and our communities secure." - Rep. Laurel Lee, Statement on President Trump’s State of the Union Address, February 24, 2026”
