Recorded votes

Tom Young cast 991 Yea or Nay votes on the roll calls we hold, across 3 terms from 2021 to 2026, all in the Ohio General Assembly, from the Ohio Legislature. Each term opens to every roll call, with the question, the result, how Tom Young voted and how the majority of their party voted.

TermChamberYeaNayDid not voteWith party
136th General Assembly, 2025–2026Ohio House, district 373083not recorded100% of 51

"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.
