Voting record

24 votes on platform-touching bills

How they voted on others' bills that reached a recorded floor vote. Often along party lines — a weaker priority signal than what they sponsor above.

24 platform-touching floor votes, none scorable yet.

The bills they voted on touch our platform topics but haven't been editorially reviewed for clear "aligned" or "opposed" calls. Once Legislation Watch reviews accumulate, the votes below will resolve into with-platform / against-platform tallies.

How this page is built

Sponsorship data comes from the Legislation Watch bill feed — every bill's primary sponsor and cosponsors are fetched from OpenStates and matched to this senator by ID. Voting data comes from the same OpenStates feed, joined to bills already screened by Legislation Watch.

A vote scores with the platform when they voted yea on an aligned bill (or nay on an opposed bill); against when the inverse. Mixed-alignment bills, abstain votes, and absences don't count toward the headline rate. Bills that don't touch any WTPPPA platform plank are filtered out entirely.
