Recorded votes

Tom Letson cast 2,011 Yea or Nay votes on the roll calls we hold, across 4 terms from 2007 to 2014, all in the Ohio General Assembly, from the Ohio Legislature. Each term opens to every roll call, with the question, the result, how Tom Letson voted and how the majority of their party voted.

TermChamberYeaNayDid not voteWith party
130th General Assembly, 2013–2014Ohio House, district 64421164not recorded93% of 150
129th General Assembly, 2011–2012Ohio House, district 64459195not recorded94% of 222

127th General Assembly, 2007–2008Ohio House, district 6435950not recorded92% of 40

"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.
