The Clerk records Roll Call 286 on September 1, 2026: the House passed the motion to concur in Senate amendments to H.R. 6500, 370-48, and lists Joyce (OH), Republican, Ohio, voting Yea.
Assessments
During Joyce's current House term, Congress enacted H.R. 6500, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027, which made FY2027 continuing appropriations through December 11, 2026. The Clerk records Joyce voting Yea on September 1, 2026. That directly undercuts the promise to reject continuing resolutions and restore regular appropriations order. However, House Appropriations records also show FY2027 subcommittee and full committee appropriations activity, so there was some regular-order progress rather than no effort at all.
The evidence shows FY27 appropriations moving through regular order in committee markups during the current term, which supports partial progress on the promise to restore regular appropriations order. But there is no concrete evidence that Joyce secured the broader outcome of consistently rejecting omnibus bills and continuing resolutions, or that the full promise was completed. Given the limited committee evidence and lack of a final enacted result, this is partial rather than delivered.
