The NH House was back for a session this week to vote for and against things that matter much more than they should, and we’ve got the receipts.
Republicans showed up in better numbers than we’ve seen since we started this project, but as we noted in the beginning, that doesn’t always translate into legislative wins. Attendance is a double-edged sword. It tells part of a story. Reps need to be there to represent their constituents but, in some cases, can’t for a day or a vote. And sometimes, they show up to vote the wrong way.
While I heard we had some legislative wins yesterday, some of them (Republicans) voted with Democrats to ensure legislative losses we otherwise could have avoided. You’ll have to dig into the roll call votes yourself to work those out, but our own Judy Aron covered the session day here if you want bill numbers, so we’ll get on with this piece of the puzzle; here are the missed roll call votes by Republican Rep for 4/11/2024.
What they mean is up to you.
