2021: Schweikert Voted To Require Governmental Actions To Support Free, Fair And Transparent Elections And Protect Human Rights In Nicaragua, Including Imposing Sanctions, Increasing Oversight Of Financial Assistance For Nicaraguan Projects, And Requiring Various State Department Reports Over Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's Corruption. In November 2021, Schweikert voted for the Reinforcing Nicaragua's Adherence to Conditions for Electoral Reform Act of 2021 which would, according to Congressional Quarterly, "express the sense of Congress and require the U.S. government to take certain actions related to supporting free, fair and transparent elections and protecting human rights in Nicaragua. It would require the State and Treasury departments to take actions to align diplomatic engagement efforts with the implementation of targeted sanctions, including through international coordination, to support efforts to facilitate the necessary conditions for democratic elections in Nicaragua. Among other provisions, it would require U.S. directors at international financial institutions to increase oversight of any loans or assistance provided for projects in Nicaragua and require the president to impose visa sanctions on individuals who have committed acts of corruption in Nicaragua. It would also require the State Department to submit a number of reports to Congress regarding Nicaragua, including reports on corruption involving Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, his family and senior officials in his government; Russian activities, including military- or intelligence-related sales to the Nicaraguan government; human rights abuses by the Ortega government; and strategies to strengthen free press and expression. The measure is now cleared for the president." The vote was on passage. The House passed the bill by a vote of 387-35, sent to the President and ultimately became law.
