Indiana — Majority supports the war ·
“Yes. I would vote to remove U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran unless Congress votes to authorize military action. Congress must uphold the War Powers Resolution and exercise its responsibility to prevent this president, or any president, from waging an unauthorized war.”

“I think the first thing when I think of foreign policy is the war in Iran, and I definitely support withdrawing from that as soon as possible.”
“The RV business presently struggles with the president's 50% tariffs, and his war of choice, which has resulted in higher gas and diesel prices.”

The House has voted six times on Iran war powers measures in the 119th Congress. Only three of those votes used identical text (H.Con.Res. 40, 86, and 93), so only those three are comparable member to member. The Senate has held two substantive votes. Roll call 184 on 2026-06-23 used the same text and passed 50-48. Roll call 244 on 2026-09-24, on H.Con.Res. 89, used different text and was rejected 49-50, so it is not counted. Because a concurrent resolution is never presented to the President, passage in both chambers did not by itself change the legal posture of the operation.

H.Con.Res. 38, 75, and 89 carried nearly identical titles but materially different text, including different deadlines and rules of construction. Votes on those measures are not counted toward any member's position or used as evidence of a changed position.
A member's map position is their most recent recorded vote on the identical text. Yea, a vote to direct the removal of U.S. forces, counts as opposing the war; Nay counts as supporting its continuation. Members who voted Present, did not vote, or had not yet taken office for every comparable vote are listed as having no recorded position.
The totals and map colors count members serving now. Members who resigned or died during the series stay listed with their recorded votes, marked as former representatives, and are not counted.
Direct quotes are labeled one at a time by the position each one states, such as opposing or supporting the war, or a mixed or conditional view. A label applies to that quote alone. It does not change the speaker's vote-based map position, and candidates who have not cast a comparable vote have no map position.
The candidate totals group each 2026 candidate by their most recent quote that opposes or supports the war. Candidates whose quotes are only mixed, conditional or unclear are counted as mixed or conditional, and a candidate whose opposing and supporting quotes have switched is also counted as a position change. Candidates with no quote on file are not placed in any group.
A “position changed” marker means the member's recorded vote on the identical text switched during the series. The marker records the change; it does not assert a reason. Where a member explained the change on the floor of the House or Senate, the statement count on their entry links the debate record.
Votes on discharge and other procedural motions are not positions on the war and are not counted here. Vote records come from the Clerk of the House and the Senate; floor statements come from the Congressional Record. Each direct quote links to the original source where it appeared.
This page puts two public records side by side: how sitting members of Congress voted on Iran war powers, and what sitting senators, House members and 2026 candidates have said about the war in their own words.
Recorded votes
Map colors and vote totals come from recorded votes only. Vote positions are derived from recorded votes on the word-for-word identical war powers texts H.Con.Res. 40, 86, and 93 (House) and Senate roll call 184. A vote to direct the removal of U.S. forces counts as opposing the war; a vote against removal counts as supporting its continuation. Other Iran votes of the 119th Congress used different text and are not comparable.
Direct quotes
Each quote appears with its date, a label for the position it states, and a link to its source. A sitting member's quotes appear on that member's entry, next to their votes. Candidates' quotes appear in the state view, and every quote is also in the full list of statements below the map. A quote does not change a member's map color. The candidate totals count each candidate's most recent quote that opposes or supports the war.
The identical text behind every comparable vote
Should the House direct the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, other than elements necessary to defend the United States or an ally or partner from imminent attack, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force against Iran?
Vote records current through Senate roll call 244 of 2026-09-24. That vote, on H.Con.Res. 89 (rejected 49-50), used different text and is not counted.

Votes and individual statements appear separately. Candidates with no quote on file have an empty position. The roster covers candidates recorded by DI, not every candidate in an election.
The generation time records when this data snapshot was prepared. For votes, date records the vote date and as_of records the tracker date. For statements, date records when the statement occurred and as_of records when DI first published it. These dates do not mean every source was rechecked then. Empty fields mean the information is not included in this download. Count votes and statements separately; multiple statements can belong to the same person.
