Piscopo Achieves Perfect 100% Voting Attendance
HARTFORD- State Representative John Piscopo (R-76) achieved a perfect record for votes cast on the floor of the state House of Representatives during the 2016 legislative session, according to the House Clerk’s Office.
Representative Piscopo was present and voted for all 313 votes taken on the state House floor during the 2016 session, according to voting record data released this week by the House Clerk’s Office. Perfect attendance is very difficult to achieve, with only about 33% of legislators able to do so this year.
“The residents of the 76th district have entrusted me with the privilege of representing their voice in Hartford and I am proud to say that I have done so on every issue that was called for debate by the legislature,” said Rep. Piscopo, whose district includes Thomaston, Burlington, Harwinton and the Northfield section of Litchfield. “It is an honor to serve the residents in our great community and I take my responsibility very seriously. My commitment to representing them to the best of my ability is proudly reflected in my voting record.”
Piscopo, the Senior House Minority Whip and a leader in the House Republican Caucus, serves on the Environment, Energy & Technology and Finance, Revenue & Bonding Committees in the General Assembly.
