This page will be updated as 2016 Session Ratings/Rankings are released by different groups.
My 2016 Votes for the General Session are at:
http://www.fredcox4utah.com/2016GenSessionVotes.pdf
Note.
A few committee votes were missed because I was presenting in a
different committee at the same time. The two House Floor votes missed
this session were due to a problem with the voting system registering
that I pushed the button to vote. I should have noticed it hadn't
registered, and the Speaker and Clerk also typically notice as well. That is being worked on.
Also, see the votes for all versions of a bill. I may vote for or against a bill, but that vote can change for different votes on the same bill, especially if the bill language changed.
Tied for 2nd Place for 2016 in the Legislature for least missed floor votes.
Floor Voting Attendance 2 missed of 657 votes.

Note, my Libertas score has varied year by year depending on the bills they select. While I am conservative, I am not a libertarian, but I do typically score high for taking in to account the US and Utah Constitutions when voting on legislation. I was surprised at this years score.
