Recorded votes

Jeffrey Crossman cast 653 Yea or Nay votes on the roll calls we hold, across 2 terms from 2019 to 2022, all in the Ohio General Assembly, from the Ohio Legislature. Each term opens to every roll call, with the question, the result, how Jeffrey Crossman voted and how the majority of their party voted.

TermChamberYeaNayDid not voteWith party
134th General Assembly, 2021–2022Ohio House, district 1528185not recorded97% of 79
133rd General Assembly, 2019–2020Ohio House, district 1524938not recorded89% of 36

"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.
