Representative Steven Howitt Maintains 100% Perfect Voting Record for Seven Consecutive Years

Boston—State Representative Steven Howitt, R-4th Bristol District, has a perfect voting record for the first half of the 2017-2018 legislative session. The fact is that the legislator has never missed a roll call vote since his election to the House of Representatives in 2010 – he has compiled a 100% voting record over the course of seven years:

2011-2012: 375/375 total votes cast
2013-2014: 505/505 total votes cast
2015-2016: 559/559 total votes cast
2017-2018: 305/305 total votes cast (to date)

Total: 1,744/1,744 votes cast since elected in 2011

This term, to date, Representative Howitt's voting record includes voting in all 305 roll call votes cast in the House of Representatives between January and the end of calendar year 2017.

“I’m very proud to work for my constituency in this capacity,” he said, smiling. “That’s how it works.”

“Our service model for “constituents served” for our District’s residents is probably about the highest in the State House. I talk with countless people in the District on a regular basis, my door is always open, and calls and emails are constant. I am appreciative of our great staff and our interns, and I am privileged to enjoy the support, the rapport and the feedback from neighbors and friends. They know my door is always open to them.”

The Representative continued, “I can’t thank the people of the 4th Bristol District enough for putting their faith in me to get their issues resolved, help them cut through red tape, or tackling a community issue together to seek resolution. It may sound a bit corny, but I love my job, I really do. Voting is one piece of this pie, but perhaps it is the most critical component of the position – to serve and actually represent the people in the House and give a voice to them. I want to thank my constituents for the key roles they have in making the 4th Bristol District a wonderful place to live, work, and play, and for enabling me to represent them on Beacon Hill. I continue to be humbled by their support and their votes for me to continue this work on their behalf.”

He remarked – “I must add, as seriously as I take this responsibility, I would not be able to accomplish all that I do, every and any hour of the day, without the support and understanding of my lovely wife, Pam, who stands with, and works beside me, every step of the way. She is very much a part of the process and I am blessed to have her in my life.”

Representative Howitt serves on the Committees on Redistricting, Transportation, and Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
