Voted yea on H.Con.Res. 14 (Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Resolution (Trump budget framework)) on 2025-02-25: Spartz was one of the final GOP holdouts on the budget resolution, initially voting no, but flipped to yes after a phone call from President Trump. Reports indicated Trump was 'fuming' and screamed at her, calling her a 'fake Republican.' Spartz denied the yelling but acknowledged the call. She publicly blamed Speaker Mike Johnson for 'eleventh hour' governing. The flip illustrates the cross-pressure Spartz faced between her fiscal hawk brand (she had previously threatened to resign over debt) and Trump's demand for party loyalty.

Voted nay on H.R. 3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (debt ceiling suspension / spending cuts)) on 2023-05-31: Spartz was one of only 71 House Republicans to vote against preventing a catastrophic U.S. default. Her district — the wealthiest in Indiana with median income $81,223 and 72.7% homeownership — would have been severely harmed by a default's impact on financial markets, retirement accounts, and property values. She had previously voted 'yes' on the House GOP debt ceiling plan in April 2023, then reversed to 'no' on the final bipartisan deal, prioritizing fiscal messaging over constituent material interests.
