Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

Liberty League
Voted April 25, 2024
No

“While there are certain aspects of this bill that the Liberty League supports, there are far too many policies with little in common crammed into one package. We should vote on these issue by issue or, at least, only craft bills that deal with closely related or interconnected issues. There are aspects of this that the Liberty League coalition supports and aspects that it doesn't, and it would be unfair to the voters of our coalition to divide them like that. Furthermore, we are surprised to see the NUF propose a bill exempting women from the draft when they voted down our single-issue bill that would have done the exact same thing last year. Some clarity from our new leading party regarding their actual stance on conscription and women in the military would be very beneficial.”
