WASHINGTON – During the 111^th Congress, Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins did not miss a single roll call vote in the House of Representatives. She was one of only three House members to participate in every vote cast.

“The people of Eastern Kansans sent me to Congress to make sure their concerns are addressed and their voices are heard,” Jenkins said. “A big part of my job is to take a stand and vote on every piece of legislation that comes before the House. I made it a priority to vote in each of the 1,655 roll call votes the House held this Congress.”

In addition to fulfilling her responsibilities in Washington, Congresswoman Jenkins returned to Kansas every weekend she wasn’t held in Washington by votes to travel throughout Eastern Kansas meeting with constituents, touring small businesses, military installations as well as colleges and universities.

Jenkins continued, “Despite a busy day-to-day schedule in Washington and travel complications after spending each weekend in Kansas, I am pleased I was able to participate in each roll call vote in the House. While I voted against many of the major pieces of legislation that I believed would take our nation in the wrong direction, I am hopeful that in the next Congress, led by the Republican House Majority, I will be able to cast more “yes” votes as we work to return commonsense good governance to Washington.”
