[constituency_baseline] District summary: Texas's 14th Congressional District encompasses the entire Texas Gulf Coast from the Louisiana border through Galveston to Brazoria County south of Houston, including Jefferson, Orange, Chambers, Galveston, and Brazoria counties. With approximately 778,000 residents, it is a deep-red district (Cook PVI R+32) that Ron Paul represented from 1997-2013 before Weber succeeded him. The district has a median household income of $77,215 — well above the national median — and a poverty rate of 10.6% (ACS) to 13.2% (Data USA). The population is 57.8% White (Non-Hispanic), 26% Hispanic, and 15.5% Black, with 94.8% U.S. citizens and 9.67% foreign-born. Median home values are $241,800 with a 68.6% homeownership rate. Only 25.7% hold bachelor's degrees, well below the 33.7% national average. The economy is anchored by oil & gas, petrochemical refining (home to the largest concentration of refineries in the United States), maritime/ports (7 ports including Port of Galveston, Port of Beaumont, Port of Port Arthur), shipbuilding, commercial fishing, and healthcare. NASA's Johnson Space Center is adjacent to the district. The district is car-dependent: 81.2% drive alone. Key local concerns include hurricane protection (the Ike Dike), port and waterway dredging, energy industry regulation, border/maritime security, and flood insurance. Weber serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee and chairs the Energy Subcommittee of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee.

Voted yea on H.Res. — January 6-7, 2021 (Objection to Certification of Pennsylvania Electoral Votes) on 2021-01-07: Weber voted to sustain the objection to Pennsylvania's electoral votes hours after the Capitol riot (138 Republicans voted to sustain; 282 voted to reject). The 2020 election had been certified by all 50 states, and more than 60 court challenges had been rejected. GovTrack's report on the 2020 election noted Weber 'collaborated to have the 2020 presidential election decided instead by incumbent politicians running in the very same election.' This was among Weber's most significant early votes after succeeding Ron Paul — whose anti-interventionist, civil-libertarian legacy he effectively abandoned in favor of Trump-loyalist election denialism.

Voted yea on H.R. 7147 / H.R. 7744 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026) on 2026-04-29: Weber voted to fund DHS and end the partial shutdown. He was a forceful advocate for ICE and border enforcement throughout his career, introducing the 'Redirecting Resources to the Border Act' to relocate Capitol fencing to the southern border. His newsletter celebrated the arrest of Columbia protester Mahmoud Khalil by ICE, stating 'If you are here on a student visa and use that privilege to incite violence and threaten Jewish classmates, you have no place in America.' The vote was party-aligned and consistent with his long-standing border-security brand.

Voted yea on H.R. 5371 (Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 — Ending the 43-Day Government Shutdown) on 2025-11-12: Weber voted to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, stating he voted to 'bring long-overdue relief to Texans.' He blasted Democrats for a '42 day Schumer Shutdown' and for 'putting health care for illegal aliens ahead of paying American workers.' His district's 7 ports, energy sector workers, and Coast Guard families were directly affected by the shutdown. The vote aligned with his pragmatic governing posture — distinguishing him from Freedom Caucus holdouts — and was consistent with his pro-border-security messaging.

Voted yea on H.R. 7567 (Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (Farm Bill) — On Passage) on 2026-04-30: Weber voted Yea (224-200), but his position was complicated. In a March 2026 interview on Real America's Voice, he criticized the spending bill that included disaster and farming packages, calling it 'pork' and a 'NO!' because it extended the debt limit battle to 2027. His district includes agricultural areas and 7 ports, making the farm and trade provisions locally salient. The bill preserved SNAP cuts from the OBBB, affecting food-insecure families in his 10.6% poverty-rate district. Only 3 Republicans voted Nay. His vote reconciled his ag-constituency interests with conference loyalty despite his vocal criticism of the package's debt-ceiling provisions.

Voted yea on H.R. 22 (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act — On Passage) on 2025-04-10: Weber voted with all Republicans (220-208) to require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration. He posted on his official House website that 'federal law already makes it clear: foreign nationals and noncitizens are prohibited from voting in U.S. federal elections.' His district is 94.8% citizens — the ID requirements create limited barriers for most constituents. Only 4 Democrats joined all Republicans. The League of Women Voters characterized the bill as a voter suppression measure.

Voted nay on H.R. 5009 / S. 1071 (National Defense Authorization Acts — FY2024 (Nay) and FY2025 (Yea)) on 2023-12-14: Weber voted against the FY2024 NDAA, citing an attached FISA reauthorization without Fourth Amendment reforms, stating: 'it is imperative that we strengthen our Fourth Amendment and stop the corrupt upper echelon of the federal government from spying on everyday Americans.' This libertarian-inflected vote — opposing government surveillance — echoed his predecessor Ron Paul's civil-libertarian legacy. He then voted Yea on FY2025 NDAA, which he said 'strengthens our national security by deterring China' and 'cracked down on waste, fraud, and abuse.' The reversal on the same statutory vehicle (annual defense authorization) across consecutive years reflects a shift from anti-surveillance civil libertarianism to a more conventional GOP defense posture.

Voted nay on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-04-20: Weber voted against $60.8 billion in Ukraine aid, joining the majority of House Republicans. He previously voted for the 2022 Lend-Lease Act and 2022 supplemental, but by 2023 had turned firmly against Ukraine funding — voting to strike $300 million in defense assistance, to prohibit all security assistance, and against further appropriations. Republicans for Ukraine gave him an 'F' grade. His statement: 'Democrats' war on energy and President Biden's strategy on relations with Russia have increased our oil prices and threatens to leave us energy dependent instead of independent.' His district's oil & gas sector represents 45% of his donor base, and his Energy Subcommittee chairmanship made the energy-angle framing consistent with his committee portfolio.

He was a cosponsor of the bill. His district is 94.8% citizens with 9.67% foreign-born — the 26% Hispanic population means enforcement has community impact. The vote aligned with his border-security brand, his Texas House record on human trafficking legislation, and his Vice Chair role on Border and Intergovernmental Affairs.

Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment) on 2025-07-03: Weber's Yea vote (218-214) is one of the most telling of his career. He campaigned for over a decade as a fiscal conservative who would 'cut, cap and balance' the budget, signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, and was called 'Congress' fiercest champion of fiscal responsibility.' He then voted for a bill the CBO found would add $3-4 trillion to the deficit — repudiating the fiscal discipline that defined his political identity. On Newsmax, he dismissed the CBO as purveyors of 'fear-mongering.' His district's 10.6% poverty rate and 13.2% uninsured rate per Data USA meant the bill's $930 billion in Medicaid cuts disproportionately harmed his own constituents. He celebrated the bill's border security, energy, and tax-relief provisions. Oil & Gas donors ($591,103 career) strongly supported the bill's energy deregulation. The AFL-CIO scored his vote 'Wrong' (0% lifetime).

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's questions about whether women experiencing miscarriages would face Medicaid work requirements. Weber reclaimed his time and told AOC: 'We'd like you to address the Republicans and let's have a dialogue this way and not to a camera.' AOC responded that she was addressing '13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen' including residents of Republican districts where '25 percent of your constituents are on Medicaid, 40 percent of your constituents are on Medicaid.' Weber then repeatedly interjected that he was reclaiming his time.

The bill also includes historic spending cuts, driving down the deficit against the baseline that reflects current expectations — not fantasy projections.'
