A record with almost nothing in it
He parted from the Republican position twice, and both times identically: a vote of no on an amendment the conference was backing. Neither amendment survived the floor. Every other recorded vote he cast lined up with his party.
| Roll call | Date | Outcome | Their vote |
|---|---|---|---|
| H.R.8595 On Agreeing to the Amendment roll call 245 | Jul 15, 2026 | Failed | No (party: Yea) |
| H.R.7567 On Agreeing to the Amendment roll call 144 | Apr 30, 2026 | Failed | No (party: Yea) |
Against a large and varied delegation
The Texas Republican group in the House is big enough to contain both ends of the party, and its internal average reflects that spread. Pfluger is at the disciplined end of it, several times under the group figure.
Among the 24 Republicans in the Texas delegation, the average rate of voting against the party majority is 6.0%. August Pfluger is below that average at 0.9%.
The filings
A rescue measure, an alerts bill, an authorisation covering emerging technology, a premium transparency act, and a medal for a named serviceman. The counterterrorism gavel is visible in some of it and absent from the rest.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 46 currently sit at Introduced.
Tenure and attendance
A career as an air force pilot preceded his arrival, which dates from this decade's first years. He rarely misses a vote.
First elected in 2021, now serving across 3 terms. August Pfluger falls in the mid cohort.
By the numbers
In the 119th Congress, August Pfluger has 161 bills sponsored, 899 cosponsored, 100 recent floor votes recorded.
