Callahan Earns Perfect Voting Record in 2021
HARTFORD – State Representative Pat Callahan (R-New Fairfield) has earned a perfect voting record for 2021’s regular and special legislative sessions, never missing a vote during his first term.
“My goal as state representative is to ensure the towns of the 108th District, Danbury, Sherman, New Fairfield and New Milford, have a strong voice in Hartford,” Rep. Callahan said. “It is truly an honor to represent you at the State Capitol. My votes mirror the hard work ethic and values prevalent in our community, and I will continue to serve in that manner.”
The House Clerk’s Office released the voting data this week. Legislators, on average, miss a handful of votes each year – only about a third of the legislature achieve a perfect voting record.
By the end of the year, the Speaker of the House had asked legislators to cast 426 votes. While some members cast votes from their private offices, Rep. Callahan, who serves on the legislature’s Education, Environment, and Judiciary committees, pressed the green ‘Yea’ button, or the red ‘Nay’ button in the historic House Chambers on every single voting opportunity that came before him.
The 2022 legislative session convenes in February. To follow along for legislative updates, visit RepCallahan.com.
