Vote-vs-platform contradictions 4

Roll-call votes that contradict the official's own stated platform commitments. Each links to the bill and the contradiction rationale.

40% of 10 rated votes contradicted the stated platform
  • H.R. 2811 ↗ YEA 2023-04-26
    Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 — Raise debt ceiling while slashing domestic spending by $144 billion with Medicaid and SNAP cuts
    why contradicted?
    [against_constituent] Passed 217-215 on a near party-line vote. Fitzpatrick supported legislation that would jeopardize Medicaid coverage for millions. In his district, approximately 18% of residents are enrolled in Medicaid.
  • H.R. 3684 ↗ YEA 2021-11-05
    Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act — $1.2 trillion for roads, bridges, broadband, and transit
    why contradicted?
    [against_constituent] Fitzpatrick was one of only 13 House Republicans to vote yes and the sole Pennsylvania Republican. He faced backlash from Trump and fellow conservatives but defended the vote as serving his district. The bill included $11.3 billion for Pennsylvania highway projects.
  • H.R. 3755 ↗ NAY 2021-09-24
    Women's Health Protection Act — Would codify abortion access protections into federal law
    why contradicted?
    [against_constituent] Fitzpatrick's anti-abortion vote placed him at odds with suburban voters in his purple district. A 2022 poll showed his support collapsed when voters learned of his anti-abortion position.
  • H.Res. 24 ↗ NAY 2021-01-13
    Impeachment of Donald Trump — Incitement of insurrection following the January 6th Capitol attack
    why contradicted?
    [reversal] Despite calling January 6th a 'coup attempt,' Fitzpatrick voted against impeachment. He instead introduced a censure resolution — a non-binding alternative that carried no legal consequences. The Philadelphia Inquirer called it 'a total lack of political courage.'

04

Documented contradictions 4

Stated-position-vs-revealed-conduct contradictions analysed against the official's commitments, scored by strength of the contradiction.

  • statement_vs_disclosure SCORE 90
    Fitzpatrick called January 6th a 'coup attempt' but then voted against establishing the select committee to investigate it and against holding Mark Meadows in contempt — effectively blocking the very accountability he publicly endorsed.
  • statement_vs_disclosure SCORE 60
    Fitzpatrick touts his independence and bipartisanship, yet voted against both Trump impeachments despite calling January 6th a 'coup attempt' — a vote that aligned him with the most partisan elements of his party rather than his moderate self-branding.
  • reversal SCORE 60
    Fitzpatrick voted against the AHCA in 2017 citing concerns about pre-existing conditions, but then voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which eliminated the ACA individual mandate — a key mechanism for maintaining coverage of pre-existing conditions.
  • platform_vs_vote SCORE 60
    Fitzpatrick's moderate branding is contradicted by his votes against the Women's Health Protection Act. His anti-abortion position cost him support in a poll showing voters would abandon him once they learned of his stance.

What this scorecard does and doesn't claim

Every figure above is a count of records the platform already holds, each click-through-able to its source. The scorecard adds no inference, no forecast, and no narrative — it aggregates what is documented.

A populated scorecard is not a finding of corruption. It documents the volume of stated-vs-revealed tension, donor-adjacent silence, and broken commitments on the public record for this official. Silence in particular is the absence of an expected statement; it can have innocent explanations and is never presented as proof. Read each item's source before drawing conclusions.
