A 2005 bill requiring registered sex offenders who move to Arizona to re-register passed the House 55–3 and was signed into law. The Copper Courier reports Andy Biggs was one of the three no votes.
The enhanced ACA tax credits expired and enrollment fell 12% nationwide — 32% in Ohio and Oklahoma. Here is the collapse state by state, and the fourteen Republicans who voted for it.

Republicans put a 12-year cap on congressional service to a House vote in 1995. Four of these men were there for it. Two of them are now in year 45. And five Republicans currently cosponsor a three-term cap while serving their 7th, 10th and 17th terms.
