Several dozen Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives voted against amendments on Wednesday to defund progressive initiatives at federal agencies.

Members of the House cast their ballots on various amendments meant to ensure that federal appropriations bills for the next fiscal year do not bankroll diversity and equity initiatives, as well as official recognition of homosexuality and transgenderism. Opposition from House Republicans contributed to the failure of at least four such amendments, according to a review by The Sentinel, while two passed despite Republican opposition.

As previously reported by The Sentinel, eighteen Republicans voted against an amendment from Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) which specified that “none of the funds appropriated” to the Department of Defense could be “used to carry out the observance of Pride Month,” which is listed as one of the official cultural observances and awareness events for the agency. Republicans who opposed the move included:

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO)

The two Republicans amendments which passed on Wednesday were nevertheless opposed by a handful of Republicans. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) introduced an amendment to prevent the Department of Agriculture from “using funds for work courses, books, and study guides,” facing opposition from Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), while Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) proposed an amendment to stop appropriations to the Department of Agriculture from flowing to the Farm to School Network Racial Equity Learning Lab, facing opposition from Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Rep. Thomas Kean (R-NJ).

Polls reveal that Republican voters have experienced a significant decline in trust toward the government relative to Democratic voters in recent years. Some 8% of Republican voters “trust the government to do what is right” always or most of the time, according to a survey from Pew Research Center, while 25% of Democratic voters said the same.
