Voting analysis
David Schweikert chairs the Joint Economic Committee and the Ways and Means oversight subcommittee, and he did not miss a vote. His departures divide neatly between amendments he wanted and bills he would not accept.
Refusing the finished product
Four are amendment votes on defence and spending vehicles where he pushed changes the conference declined. The rest are completed bills he opposed at passage — a children's online safety measure, a housing bill, a concurrence resolution, a fuel retailing bill and an animal welfare act.
One further vote stands apart: he opposed a resolution directing the ethics committee to preserve and publicly release records, which his party carried. That is a procedural question about the House's own conduct rather than a policy one.
