Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
A Better Fjordheim	0	No	We support protecting workers, strengthening domestic energy production, and maintaining a fair safety net, but this bill goes too far in several areas. It would place unnecessary restrictions on businesses, remove flexibility from gig work, and completely ban employment for people under 18. We believe Fjordheim can protect workers without undermining economic freedom, personal choice, and opportunity.
