Immigration

High

Congressman Keith Self introduced the Immigration Document Delivery Accountability Act of 2025, aiming to standardize tracking and delivery accountability for immigration documents mailed by USCIS. He cites concerns over bureaucratic negligence, accountability failure, fraud, and identity theft. Mr. Self also advocates for enhanced border security, including more resources for immigration agents and physical barriers, viewing it as essential to protect states and encourage legal immigration. He opposes the housing of individuals by the Federal Aviation Administration at airport facilities.

Healthcare

High

Keith Self voted for the "Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act" (H.R. 6703) and co-led "The Patient’s Choice Act of 2024," which aims to stop new regulations on short-term health plans. He also supports ending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, stating that this action helps reveal issues with Obamacare, thereby fostering efforts toward healthcare reform.

“The shutdown shined so much light on the problems in healthcare and Obamacare. With the enhanced subsidies that are expiring at the end of the year, that sunshine is helping generate this momentum that we see today,” the lawmaker argued. “We now understand, because of the shutdown, just how broke Obamacare is, so that has actually generated the momentum that we see now to do something early in 2026.” — U.S. Representative Keith Self, WFAA

Climate & Energy

Medium

Representative Keith Self has a 0% lifetime score and a 0% 2024 score from the League of Conservation Voters (LCV). This indicates his voting record consistently aligns against environmental protection measures as assessed by the LCV.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

High

Keith Self states he will not relent in efforts to end abortion procedures, believing every child deserves the right to life. As a Christian conservative, he is committed to defending the rights of the unborn and advocating for policies protecting the most vulnerable. He voted in favor of the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act and the Pregnant Students’ Rights Act, and is endorsed by Texas Alliance for Life.

“As a Christian conservative, I remain committed to defending the rights of the unborn and advocating for policies that protect the most vulnerable among us,” said Congressman Keith Self. “These pro-life bills support mothers who choose life, and I encourage people of faith to play a role in supporting and equipping these brave women.”

Foreign Policy

High

Congressman Keith Self introduced eight amendments to the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to reinforce American leadership and modernize national security policy. These amendments focus on U.S. strategic defense, innovation, and global competitiveness, aiming to close operational gaps across critical domains. One amendment specifically seeks to reinforce U.S. nuclear competitiveness by aligning with President Trump's Executive Order 14299. His foreign policy stance also emphasizes congressional oversight of military actions.

“These amendments are grounded in principle, rooted in reality, and focused on national strength,” said Congressman Self. “They prepare us for tomorrow’s threats, fix today’s gaps, and prove that when America leads, the world follows.” (Congressman Keith Self, press release on FY26 NDAA amendments)

Education

High

Congressman Keith Self introduced a legislative package aimed at codifying President Trump's executive orders concerning education. These bills propose reinstating school discipline policies, strengthening the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, and promoting a factual approach to American history instruction. He emphasizes that public accountability and educational integrity are vital.

“These executive orders by President Trump reflect commonsense governance and clear priorities. Now more than ever, public accountability, educational integrity, and national security are vital,” Congressman Self said. “To preserve the integrity of these accomplishments, we must protect them from being reversed by the radical left and cement these wins into law.” (Congressman Keith Self, Press Release on his official House website)

Gun Policy

High

Keith Self is a life member of the National Rifle Association of America. He believes that possessing a weapon does not inherently make an individual a target, stating that problems arise from interfering with law enforcement rather than from weapon ownership itself.

"Like, look, I'm a Texan. I don't think that's true at all. Uh I think what what created the problem was his stepping in and interfering with law enforcement carrying out his duty." - Keith Self, YouTube video
