Rep. Fahrbach Achieves Perfect Voting, Attendance Record

State Representative Ruth Fahrbach, R-61, achieved a 100 percent voting and attendance record in the state House of Representatives for the 2006 Legislative Session, according to records compiled by the clerk of the House of Representatives.

According to a statistical summary recently released by the General Assembly’s House Clerks Office, Rep Fahrbach is one of only 33 House lawmakers to record a 100 percent voting and attendance record during the 2006 sessions. There are 151 members in the state House of Representatives.

“Part of my job as a legislator is to vote on bills that come before us,” said Rep. Fahrbach.  “While it might be easy to skip votes to avoid controversial issues and avoid criticism, I believe that my 100% voting record shows that I take my job and representing my constituency very seriously.”

Rep. Fahrbach’s 100 percent attendance record also reflects her commitment to her committee work. She maintains an excellent attendance record as a member of the Legislature’s Appropriations Committee, Public Health Committee and Legislative Management Committee.
