Vote Record
Throughout my years of public service, I have championed
openness and transparency in government because I believe that the
American people are in charge of our government and have a right to
know what their government is doing.
One of my most important duties as a United States
Representative is to represent the 14th Congressional District when
I vote on issues considered by the full House of Represenatives. I
encourage you to examine my record and share your thoughts on
issues that are important to you. Your input will help me to better
represent Northeast Ohio in the United States House of
Representative.
There are a number of ways to examine my record, and that of the
House as a whole:
Search listings of legislation that I have
sponsored or
cosponsored.
For a list of my current committee assignments and links to
the committee web sites.
The Library of Congress maintains a
comprehensive summary of all legislation. This service, known as
"Thomas" includes the summary, status, and full text of all pending
legislation and public laws. It is named in honor of Thomas
Jefferson, who helped reconstruct the Library of Congress by
selling most of his extensive personal library after the original
was burned during the War of 1812 which nearly doubled the size of
the original collection. They also maintain a database of the
roll call
votes of Congress.
The Office
of the Clerk of the House of Representatives also maintains a
comprehensive assortment of information including a detailed view
of House floor proceedings for the current legislative day, and
daily committee schedules.
I always encourage constituents to follow Congress on C-Span and in the
news.
