Democratic-Republican
Voted Nov. 7, 2024
No Changed vote

“We oppose liability laws that impose excessive burdens on employers, stifling business growth, increasing litigation, and misattributing workplace accidents. Employers already prioritize safety; punitive regulatory measures penalize responsible companies while failing to address root workplace hazards effectively.”

Centre Progressive
Voted Oct. 12, 2024
Abstain

“"I strongly support the protection and promotion of workers' rights, but I am abstaining today out of concern for our broader economic competitiveness. We must strike a balance that protects workers without discouraging foreign and local investment."”
