Voting Record

The votes below were taken by roll call, a voting procedure that records a vote from every Senator or Representative on the bill under consideration. This Member of State Legislature may have voted on other bills by the process known as "voice vote", but these votes are not recorded. As this is new beta functionality that we have automated, a direct link to the roll call vote PDF for verification purposes has been provided. If you would please notify OpenMass.org if you find any errors or ommisions.

Voting records are temporarily not working.
We are working to resolve this problem ASAP.
