Voting analysis
Eric Burlison ranks high among House Republicans for votes cast against the conference, and the record shows a member using the amendment process as his main instrument rather than opposing bills outright.
Pushing from the right on the floor
On the defense authorization he backed amendments the party turned down and rejected ones it accepted, in an extended run across a single day of consideration. He repeated the pattern on the State Department and national security spending bill. Where he did break on a whole bill, he voted against passage of a measure his party carried.
