Yoho took office on January 3, 2013.
He is a member of the Tea Party Caucus and the House Liberty Caucus.
He says that he supports reduction in taxes: replacing the current tax code with the Fair Tax (a broad national consumption tax on retail sales), reducing corporate tax rates, and eliminating federal programs that cannot be balanced with revenues.
According to the CBO, there would still be a deficit even if all discretionary spending (all Federal programs except pensions, Medicare and Social Security) were stopped.
Yoho advocates reducing spending and taxes, though has not yet introduced a plan that will lead to a balanced budget.

Yoho also is opposed to raising the debt ceiling unless significant spending cuts are made; he is also opposed to earmarks in legislation.
His district is one of the lowest-taxed in Florida, located primarily within Suwannee River Management District (lower proportion of property taxes), per capita retail sales in the district are significantly lower than the state average, and it has the fewest non-farm related businesses of Florida's congressional districts.
Yoho has not made any indication on his level support of the farm bill.

In 2014, Yoho was challenged by conservative Republican Jake Rush for his seat.
Rush painted Yoho as a "liberal" and appealed to voters' conservatism to try to win the Republican nomination.

In 2015, Yoho mounted a campaign to challenge John Boehner for the Speakership of the US House of Representatives in an attempt to get the conference to the second ballot.
The block of dissenting members were four votes shy of achieving their goal.
Of the 435 congressmen and congresswomen eligible to vote, Yoho received only two votes.

He and his Democratic colleague John Conyers offered bipartisan amendments to block the U.S. military training of Ukraine's Azov Battalion of the Ukrainian National Guard.
Some members of the battalion are openly white supremacists.
