Voted nay on H.R. 2811 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (debt ceiling deal)) on 2023-05-31: Burlison was one of 71 Republicans to vote against the debt ceiling compromise negotiated by Speaker McCarthy with President Biden, stating 'our national debt is approaching catastrophic levels.' The vote reflected his hardline fiscal conservatism and placed him among the most uncompromising members of the GOP conference — 71 of 222 House Republicans voted nay.

Voted nay on H.Res. 757 (Declaring the office of Speaker of the House to be vacant (McCarthy ouster)) on 2023-10-03: Burlison broke with the eight hardline Freedom Caucus Republicans who voted to oust McCarthy. He had voted against McCarthy's spending plan just days earlier but said removing the Speaker would distract from 'reducing wasteful spending and securing the border.' His vote with 210 Republicans to retain McCarthy demonstrated a pragmatic streak within his Freedom Caucus membership.

Voted nay on H.R. 7147 / H.R. 7148 (Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 (ending the February 2026 government shutdown)) on 2026-02-04: Burlison was the only Missouri Republican to vote against the funding bill that ended the government shutdown, citing 'swampy earmarks.' He voted yea on the November 2025 CR that ended the 43-day shutdown, making his February opposition a situational rather than principled stance. His vote put him at odds with most of his delegation and the Trump administration, which supported the bill.

Voted yea on H.R. 2670 (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024) on 2024-06-14: Burlison voted with all six Missouri House Republicans for the $883.7 billion NDAA. The bill included $2+ billion for Boeing fighter jets built in St. Louis — a major state employer — along with his own amendment increasing transparency on teacher training materials. The vote aligned with Missouri's defense manufacturing interests and party expectations.

Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Trump's 2025 budget reconciliation)) on 2025-07-03: Burlison voted yes on the massive reconciliation bill that included deep Medicaid work requirements and SNAP cuts — programs on which thousands of his constituents rely. His district has a 9.4% poverty rate, yet he championed provisions that impose work requirements on Medicaid recipients and raised the SNAP work requirement age from 55 to 65. His own 'Ending the Cycle of Dependency Act' provisions were incorporated into the bill. The vote passed 218-214 — his yes vote was essential.

Voted nay on H.R. 8036 (Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($8.1 billion)) on 2024-04-20: Burlison voted against Taiwan/Indo-Pacific aid, joining only 33 other House members in opposition. The bill passed 385-34. His vote was an outlier even among Republicans (only ~15% opposed) and reflected his isolationist stance — he told the Kansas City Star he feared Biden would 'transfer the money over to Ukraine.'

Voted yea on H.R. 8034 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($26.4 billion)) on 2024-04-20: Burlison voted for Israel aid while opposing Ukraine and Taiwan aid on the same day — a split reflecting his donor alignment with AIPAC ($22,319 in 2024). He told the Kansas City Star: 'Israel is an ally of the U.S. and it serves the best interest of the U.S. for Israel to exist.' Only 58 House members opposed Israel aid, making Burlison's support aligned with the overwhelming majority.

The bill passed 311-112 with bipartisan backing. His opposition, grounded in fiscal-hawk arguments that 'Ukraine is not an ally,' placed him among the most isolationist members of his conference — defecting from the 47.7% of House Republicans who voted yea.

Voted yea on H.R. 722 (Life at Conception Act of 2025) on 2025-01-24: Burlison introduced this bill to ban abortion nationwide just two months after Missouri voters approved Amendment 3 (51.6%-48.4%), which enshrined reproductive rights in the state constitution. Although his district's counties voted against Amendment 3, the statewide mandate reflected broad voter sentiment. The bill has not yet received a floor vote but signals a direct challenge to his own state's constitutional amendment and places him at the vanguard of the House's anti-abortion faction. The bill would classify zygotes as legal persons under the 14th Amendment.
