Robert Onder serves on the House Judiciary Committee's Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee. He sponsored H.R. 7722, citing constitutional authority for the legislation under Clauses 3 and 18 of Section 8 of Article I.

He reintroduced the Chloe Cole Act, aiming to protect minors from irreversible transgender procedures, citing a commitment to safeguarding children's health.

“Right now, it's critical that we fix health care, not double down on a failed system. - Rep. Bob Onder, Facebook”

Robert Onder introduced H.R. 7554, the Curtailing Agency Reach and Bureaucracy Overreach on Net-Zero (CARBON) Act, to exclude carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide from federal air pollution regulation. He states this bill is meant to restore congressional intent to the Clean Air Act and provide predictability for industry. Onder also voted in favor of the Securing America's Critical Minerals Supply Act, the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act, and the Don't Mess With My Home Appliances Act.

““For too long, uncertainty over federal greenhouse gas regulation has left farmers, manufacturers, and energy producers guessing whether their operations could be delayed or shut down based on outdated and unclear Obama-era regulations. I have introduced the CARBON Act, alongside the Trump Administration’s repeal of the “endangerment finding,” to restore common-sense limits on federal authority. The CARBON Act returns the Clean Air Act to Congress’s original intent by clarifying that the EPA cannot regulate carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide as ‘air pollutants.’ This bill reigns in bureaucratic overreach and provides overdue predictability to industry,” said Congressman Bob Onder, in a press release regarding the CARBON Act, February 17, 2026.”

Robert Onder, identified as anti-abortion, was recognized as the 2025 Champion for Life by Missouri Right to Life for his leadership in making Missouri the first state to ban abortion after Dobbs.
