# LUCAS, FRANK D.

Office: H OK 03
Record label: Compromises on record
Tier 2 scale: 41.18

## Earlier record (not scored)

- In the 118th Congress this member cosponsored [H.R. 7](https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7), which restricts abortion/funding or supports pregnancy centers/Dobbs (title/CRS).
- In the 118th Congress this member cosponsored [H.R. 26](https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/26), which restricts abortion/funding or supports pregnancy centers/Dobbs (title/CRS).

This note is shown for completeness. It is not scored. A sponsorship in the 117th Congress or earlier stays a note. Prior-Congress resolutions are notes and do not cap. Operative class-A bills in the current and prior Congress can cap the label. The label window is the current and prior Congress, about four years.


## Past floor votes

Past floor votes on life and on children count at a disclosed prudential weight. A vote in the prior Congress counts at 0.5. A vote two Congresses back counts at 0.25. Nothing older is scored. The weight counts toward the lane minimum: the votes add their weights, not one full vote each. An absence, or a present, on a bill that defends life or children still counts, at that same reduced weight. An absence on a bill that expands abortion does not. Scripture gives no half-life for sin. Recent conduct is better evidence of how a member uses the office now. The numbers 0.5 and 0.25, and the two-Congress limit, are chosen numbers, open to revision. Decay changes the score only. Whether a cap applies does not decay.

- Nay on H.R. 3755 (117th Congress, house roll 295). disclosed prudential weight 0.25 (two Congresses back). Abortion-expansion yea. It caps the label at Compromises on record and does not disqualify. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2021295
- Nay on H.R. 8296 (117th Congress, house roll 360). disclosed prudential weight 0.25 (two Congresses back). Abortion-expansion yea. It caps the label at Compromises on record and does not disqualify. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022360
- Nay on H.R. 8297 (117th Congress, house roll 362). disclosed prudential weight 0.25 (two Congresses back). Cap only. Tier 1 eligible, pending human text review and Adam sign-off. Not applied as Tier 1. A yea caps the label and does not disqualify. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022362
- Nay on H.R. 8404 (117th Congress, house roll 513). disclosed prudential weight 0.25 (two Congresses back). Tier 2 under family harm, not children. Signed by Adam Malin on 2026-10-22. A yea counts. Some Christians backed the religious-liberty amendment, and the practical effect largely codified Obergefell. Neither changes what the law declares marriage to be. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022513
- Yea on H.R. 6918 (118th Congress, house roll 17). disclosed prudential weight 0.5 (prior Congress). Protective life vote. Past version of a capped bill, so the weight stays 0.5. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024017
- Yea on H.R. 6914 (118th Congress, house roll 19). disclosed prudential weight 0.5 (prior Congress). Protective life vote. Past version of a capped bill, so the weight stays 0.5. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024019
- Yea on H.R. 26 (118th Congress, house roll 29). disclosed prudential weight 0.5 (prior Congress). Protective life vote. A nay is scored. It does not disqualify, and it is not the abortion-expansion cap. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023029
- Yea on H.R. 5 (118th Congress, house roll 161). disclosed prudential weight 0.5 (prior Congress). Family, prudential. Shown at the 0.5 factor. A nay adds no compromise points and does not cost Qualified. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023161
- Yea on H.R. 734 (118th Congress, house roll 192). disclosed prudential weight 0.5 (prior Congress). Protective children vote. Past version of a capped bill, so the weight stays 0.5. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023192
- Yea on H.R. 8070 (118th Congress, house roll 263). disclosed prudential weight 0.5 (prior Congress). Bars the Department of Defense from paying or reimbursing abortion-related travel and expenses.

Tier 2 amendment weight. 118th Congress decay 0.5. Signed by Adam Malin on 2026-10-22. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023302
- Yea on H.R. 3838 (119th Congress, house roll 245). disclosed prudential weight 1.0 (current Congress). Bars DoD gender-transition procedures for a minor dependent. Protective children vote. Tier 2 amendment weight. Current Congress decay 1.0. Signed by Adam Malin on 2026-10-22. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025245

A yea on H.R. 1 tagged defends life is not shown as a life credit. H.R. 1 is a must-pass budget bill, and that yea builds no score.

Credits: 11 listed, combined weight 156. They are not subtracted from the Tier 2 scale.
