See How Your Lawmakers Voted this Year with AFL-CIO Congressional Scorecard
 |
|
With Congress out on its August recess and working families set to hold lawmakers accountable for their lack of action on the job, it’s a good time to check out the AFL-CIO online interim voting record for this session of Congress.
The scorecard lists House and Senate votes on key issues so far this year, including Republican attacks on health care reform, the National Labor Relations Board, workers’ rights and construction workers wages. It also looks at votes on budget bills and spending cuts that would slash vital working family programs while continuing tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations.

The quickest way to find out how your representative and senators voted is to search by ZIP code. If your ZIP code is split across two congressional districts, you’ll be asked to enter your street address to get the right representative.
