Perfect attendance

Republican Sen. Susan Collins is touting her perfect voting record this legislative session. As an added bonus, she’s gone home on weekends to visit constituents, according to a press release from her office.

 

Collins now has a 3,679 vote streak – that’s every one since she was sworn into office in January 1997, according to the release. Collins said she was inspired by former Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, who only missed one vote because of surgery.

 

“It continues to be my great honor and privilege to serve in the U.S. Senate representing the people of Maine,” Collins said in the release. “I take my responsibilities in the Senate seriously and know that Mainers expect me to be in the Senate chamber for roll call votes.”
