WASHINGTON, D.C. – CQ Roll Call has released their 2015 vote study which ranks Representative Gwen Graham as the most independent-voting member of the Florida delegation. The annual study analyzes voting records, bipartisanship and productivity.
“This ranking shows I’m following through on my promise to represent the Second Congressional District with an independent voice,” Rep. Graham said. “It doesn’t matter if a bill is Democratic or Republican – I vote based on whether it helps the people of North Florida.”
Graham scored a 79% percent party-voting score, making her the most independent Florida member; the sixth most independent Democrat in the House; and the ninth most independent representative of either party. The study also found Congress was more productive in 2015 than at any time since 2009.
“By any measure, 2015 was a productive year. The 114th Congress enacted 115 laws, the most in the first year of any two-year term since 2009, when 125 were enacted under Democratic control of the House, Senate and White House. Last year’s total was 60 percent higher than in 2013 and 42 percent higher than 2011.” – CQ Roll Call 2015 Vote Study
“The North Florida Way and bipartisanship are working. We passed legislation to defend Israel from terrorist tunnels. We gained StrikeForce status to fight poverty in rural counties. And we’re providing outstanding constituent services,” Rep. Graham said.
