Voting record

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

Dockworkers Union
Voted Dec. 18, 2020
Yes

“We fully support this, as dockworkes need low rents!”

Avalonian Foundations
Voted Nov. 20, 2020
Abstain

“With a third of our population on retirement, a recent proposed increase in welfare spending, and a significant number of other Port Avalonians in no need of assistance, we do not see a need for increased rent controls. Should the need present itself, we are not necessarily opposed.”
