My State Reps

In my county we are lucky to have two state representatives. I really like our two state reps, Mitzi Johnson and Bob Krebs.  They are very open to talking with constituents so I thought I'd look up their voting records for the year.  The state has a pretty good searchable database so I did some research and this is what I came up with:

H112
GMO Labeling

Yea

S129

Yea
Stalled after House


They mostly voted the way I would expect/hope but there were a few surprises.  Bob voted against the marijuana decriminalization bill, the Public Pre-K bill, and Campaign Finance bill.

Don't really care about the marijuana bill, though I'm glad it passed and I would have voted for it.  But the other two bills didn't pass (they did pass the House just not the Senate),  and they are two bills I do care about quite a bit.  I'll follow up with Bob and get his take, I'm sure he'd be glad to talk.

I'm also bummed the GMO bill didn't pass but both my reps voted for it.

Later, I'll try to do the same for my state senator, Dick Mazza as well.
