Voting analysis
Dusty Johnson represents an entire state. South Dakota gets one seat, so there is no district line inside it and no same-party colleague to measure him against — the delegation comparison that appears on most pages here needs at least two members from one state in one party, and the state supplies exactly one member in total.
Water, tribes, fertiliser
Transportation heads his classified subjects, with Native American affairs second and water resources fourth — an unusual top four, and one that describes the ground rather than the committee. Two of his filings are tribal: parity for tribal police departments, and tribal firearm access. Another commissions water feasibility studies in his state. A fourth would require transparency in fertiliser pricing, which is a farm input cost problem stated as a disclosure problem.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Dusty Johnson's cluster into: Transportation and Public Works (9), Native Americans (7), Agriculture and Food (6), Water Resources Development (5), Environmental Protection (3), Crime and Law Enforcement (2).
Of the 50 most recent of those, 49 currently sit at Introduced.
He chairs the agriculture subcommittee covering commodity markets, digital assets and rural development — three jurisdictions that have very little to do with one another beyond all being places where money moves.
Three departures
All of them amendment votes, one of which carried. There is no completed bill anywhere in his record where he parted from the conference. His departure count is among the lowest on this site.
| 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 147 | Apr 30, 2026 | Failed | Aye (party: Nay) |
| H.R.7567 On Agreeing to the Amendment roll call 145 | Apr 30, 2026 | Agreed to | No (party: Yea) |
Tenure and attendance
He is in his fourth term, first winning as the last decade closed. He is away from the floor far more often than most members counted on this site — a striking pairing with a near-perfect party-line record, and one this page cannot explain.
First elected in 2019, now serving across 4 terms. Dusty Johnson falls in the mid cohort.
By the numbers
In the 119th Congress, Dusty Johnson has 134 bills sponsored, 729 cosponsored, 100 recent floor votes recorded.
