“Cracking down on illegal aliens and smugglers entering our Nation is the first step toward ensuring our communities are safe from illicit drugs. (Congressman Dave Taylor, taylor.house.gov/issues/border)”

David Taylor praised President Trump's healthcare policies in 2026, highlighting tax cuts and deregulation for affordability. He also co-introduced the Defend Rural Health Act to safeguard federal resources for rural hospitals by preventing urban facilities from claiming rural classifications. Additionally, Taylor was among Republicans who supported extending Obamacare subsidies to avoid premium increases.

Taylor advocates for unshackling the American energy sector, including ending the stigma on fossil fuels and leaning into nuclear energy, to restore the American economy. He serves on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, including its Water Resources and Environment subcommittee, and 10% of the bills he sponsors relate to Environmental Protection.

David Taylor co-sponsored the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, a bill intended to protect children and parental rights by requiring parental notification for minors crossing state lines for abortions. He supports this measure to prevent children from being taken advantage of and to safeguard the lives of both the child and the unborn. His overall voting record reflects opposition to abortion access.

““No one should be sneaking children across state lines to receive secret abortions behind the backs of that child's parents,” said Congressman Taylor.“This bill will hold all parties accountable and ensure children are not taken advantage of. As states like California and Illinois promote abortions for all and keep parents in the dark about their child’s health, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act will put parents back in the equation and protect the lives of both the child and the unborn.””

David Taylor voted in favor of the Made-in-America Defense Act (US HB4216) in 2025.

David Taylor supports ending what he refers to as "woke indoctrination" in schools, attributing a rise in children's mental health issues to the current curriculum. He asserts that this curriculum divides students based on race, misrepresents history, and promotes negative views of the United States. Taylor aims to counter these practices by defunding them, citing concerns over the teaching of apocalyptic climate change narratives.

“We must end the woke indoctrination of our kids. The massive uptick in mental health issues that our children are suffering from can be traced in large part to what is happening in our schools. The current curriculum in public schools pits students against each other on the basis of race, misrepresenting our past, and teaching kids to hate our great country. It singles out groups based on inherited traits, and terrifies young children with apocalyptic tales of humanity’s imminent demise due to climate change. I’ll end the madness by defunding and [...] - David Taylor, Ballotpedia”

David Taylor consistently states his opposition to infringements on the Second Amendment, affirming his commitment to protect the right to bear arms. He believes this right is essential for self-protection and to resist tyranny. Taylor also questions the effectiveness of new gun control laws, noting that existing laws are often broken during incidents.

“The Second Amendment is clear and unequivocal. Without this right, we cede our ability to protect ourselves to the government and give up our right to fight back against tyranny. I will always vote to protect it. - David Taylor, davetaylorforcongress.com/on-the-issues/”
