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

Citizen Core
Voted Sept. 2, 2024
Yes

“whilst not agreeing with all of them, I believe this is a step in the right direction”

Freedom For Us
Voted Aug. 7, 2024
No

“The National Anthem Clause appears to infringe upon freedom of expression (Article XII of our Constitution), because compelling citizens to stand during the Anthem may contradict their personal beliefs. Therefore, we would vote against this Bill.”
