| Term | Chamber | Yea | Nay | Did not vote | With party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 136th General Assembly, 2025–2026 | Ohio House, district 52 | 305 | 5 | not recorded | 94% of 50 |

| 129th General Assembly, 2011–2012 | Ohio Senate, district 13 | 474 | 15 | not recorded | 93% of 146 |
"With party" counts only roll calls on which most Republicans and most Democrats voted opposite ways. The Ohio Legislature records who voted Yea and who voted Nay and no one else, so an absence cannot be told from an abstention and neither is counted; only floor votes are listed.
