How we placed them
Placed only by their own votes: we took the 222 contested House floor votes of the 2026 session (where at least 10% voted on the losing side) and found the main line that divides how members vote, the same idea political scientists use to score Congress. No bill is labeled liberal or conservative by us; the conservative end is simply the side where most Republicans fall. More on how this works

Opposes the motion, saying certain lines could cause financial confusion for her county and asking for a no vote for now.

And so, um, I'm not sure maybe if it's ready yet, uh, even though I voted for this, this before, it seems to be that there's some confusion within the county about whether this will actually be beneficial to them. And so I'm hoping that we can maybe go with a no vote now and wait until later. Thank you

Asks about a change in the notice requirements for annexing unincorporated islands, including the public hearing and posted notice, and which version of the bill the sponsor is comparing.

Thank you Mr. Speaker. I'm looking at lines 2 28 from the original bill and it looks like, um, when we're talking about unincorporated islands being auto automatically annexed that before they were going to be able to have a public hearing and at least 14 days before the day of the hearing, uh, there would've been notice about that. And also posting notice in a place reasonably likely to give notice of a public hearing so people would actually be able to know what's going on and the fact that they're being annexed.
