Clay Higgins

The representative has recently gained significant attention for his role in a high-profile House vote. In late 2025, Higgins became notable for being the sole member of Congress to vote against a measure to release documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

This lone opposition vote during the full House proceeding distinguished him from all other representatives and generated widespread media coverage. Multiple news outlets reported on his unique stance and his subsequent explanation of his opposition to the document release.

The vote ultimately passed the House and moved to the Senate, but Higgins's singular position has sparked discussion about congressional transparency and individual voting records in politically charged investigations.
