Nick Langworthy voted against extending Affordable Care Act healthcare subsidies in 2026 and for Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which resulted in federal healthcare cuts. He introduced the Dietary Supplement Regulatory Uniformity Act to establish a single, science-based national standard through the FDA, aiming to protect consumer health and prevent state overregulation. Langworthy expressed concern about rising healthcare costs, stating that providing funds without reforms would not solve the issue and would instead enrich insurers.

“"I'm very concerned about the rising price of health care, but shoveling money with no reforms just out of the pocket of the taxpayer does not solve the problem,” Langworthy said. "It enriches the insurer. So we need to get to root causes, and we have to have a robust conversation and debate about this before we can just blanketly agree to just pushing forward what is exactly failed policy.” (Nick Langworthy, WSKG, November 14, 2025)”

Congressman Nick Langworthy has voted against several measures intended to address climate change and environmental protections. His voting record includes opposing funding for environmental justice, limiting federal agencies' climate crisis response, and blocking EPA cleaner car standards. He introduced the State Energy Accountability Act to evaluate state clean energy policies, citing concerns about consumer costs and energy reliability. Langworthy holds a 0% score from the League of Conservation Voters in 2025 and a 2% lifetime score.

““New York’s stringent climate rules and policies have a tremendously negative effect on every day consumer costs and energy reliability,” said Congressman Langworthy. “Americans are entitled to know every last detail of the effects of state policies on the reliability of their electric energy; the State Energy Accountability Act would give them the transparency they deserve.” (Congressman Nick Langworthy, from his press release 'Congressman Nick Langworthy Introduces the State Energy Accountability Act to Combat New York’s Egregious Climate Policies')”

Nick Langworthy identifies as pro-life and believes abortion policy should be determined at the state level following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. He voted for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. He opposes New York's Proposal Number One, stating it could threaten parental rights, religious freedoms, and the integrity of women's sports. He also highlights endorsements from anti-abortion advocates.

“I'm pro life, and I'm proud of that fact. But Roe was bad law, and now it is at the state level, and you're seeing states go in many different directions on what standard they set for the time of birth. In New York, it's anything goes." – Nick Langworthy, WETM debate (October 2024)”

“Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 1042 and ask for its immediate consideration. (Nick Langworthy, Congressional Record, February 10, 2026)”

Nick Langworthy opposes student loan forgiveness, stating that individuals who take out loans should be responsible for repaying them. He voted in favor of the Protection of Women and Girls Sports Act (H.R. 734). Additionally, he announced a U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Grant of over $2.7 million for the Waverly Central School District, intended for new equipment at the Chemung Center for Innovation.

““I applaud the Supreme Court for affirming that Biden’s student loan giveaway is unconstitutional,”said Rep. Langworthy.“Now 87% of Americans won’t be forced to pay for the educational decisions of those that made the choice to take out large student loans. It’s simple: if you take out a loan, you pay it back.” (Rep. Langworthy, http://langworthy.house.gov/issues/education)”

Nick Langworthy voted in favor of H.Res. 1042, a resolution for considering H.R. 2189, a bill aimed at modernizing federal firearms laws. He stated that H.R. 2189 would not allow felons or violent criminals to gain access to new items, nor would it override state or local law. Langworthy emphasized that individuals currently barred from possessing devices would remain so and also opposed a rule he claimed would increase gun availability.

“Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2189 does not allow felons or violent criminals to gain access to anything new. It does not over-ride State or local law, and anyone barred from possessing these devices today remains barred tomorrow." — Rep. Nicholas Langworthy, Congressional Record, February 10, 2026.”
