Voting analysis
Josh Brecheen sits among the House Republicans most willing to vote against the conference, and like several of his colleagues in that group the disagreement is concentrated in the annual defense bill rather than spread across the party's agenda.
Amendments lost, then a vote against the bill
He supported a series of amendments the majority declined to adopt, opposed one it did adopt, and voted against the defense authorization on final passage. Separately he opposed passage of another measure his party carried, and pressed amendments on the State Department spending bill that also failed. The through-line is a member losing internal arguments and recording the loss rather than falling in behind the result.
