What the record shows ·
The House Clerk records her voting Yea three times in the 119th Congress on measures of that kind: the HALT Fentanyl Act as H.R. 27 on February 6, 2025 (Roll Call 33), the same Act as S. 331 on June 12, 2025 (Roll Call 166), and the Stop Chinese Fentanyl Act of 2025 on September 2, 2025 (Roll Call 220). All three passed the House.

Limit: Three recorded votes in the current Congress, not a score of her whole record on drug policy, and the check does not cover earlier Congresses. What a scheduling or penalty bill does in practice is not something a roll call shows.
