Turner did not join the majority of Republican members of Congress who signed an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Turner voted to certify both Arizona's and Pennsylvania's results in the 2021 United States Electoral College vote count.
On July 19, 2022, Turner and 46 other Republican Representatives voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, which would codify the right to same-sex marriage in federal law.

Ohio’s Dave Joyce and Mike Turner were among just four Republicans who joined with Democrats to thwart an effort to hold U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in “inherent contempt of Congress” and fine him $10,000 per day for refusing to provide Congress with recordings of President Joe Biden’s interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
Joyce, of South Russell, was the only Republican who voted against a resolution last month that found Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to give the recordings to the House Judiciary Committee despite a subpoena.

On July 19, 2022, Joyce and 46 other Republican representatives voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, which would codify the right to same-sex marriage in federal law.
On May 19, 2021, Joyce was one of 35 Republicans who joined all Democrats in voting to approve legislation to establish the January 6 commission meant to investigate the storming of the U.S. Capitol.
In July 2017, Joyce said that U.S. political discourse had reached a "vitriolic" level. "I do know there's a level of frustration out there," he said. "But we need to work together. [President Donald Trump] has gotten into this tug-of-war with the national media. Now we're six months into his presidency … and infrastructure improvements, tax changes and healthcare law are not getting covered. They are dealing with the tweet du Jour … and [Trump's tweets] certainly don't help."

“Ohio families should be outraged that four Republicans in the Ohio congressional delegation—Mike Carey, Dave Joyce, Mike Turner and Anthony Gonzalez– joined four Democrats in exploiting marriage for political purposes. H.R. 8404 is a shoddy attempt to both redefine ‘sex’ and make marriage a civil right extended to same sex couples. This is a declaration of war on children in America, and Republicans have just opened the door to further child corruption by this phony attempt to normalize and mainstream deviant behavior.
