Representative Jones’ Perfect Voting Record Continues

The following was submitted by the office of Representative Jones:

House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. (R-North Reading) is pleased to announce to the residents of the 20^th Middlesex District the continuation of his perfect voting record.

The North Reading legislator participated in 181 consecutive roll call votes in the House this year before the winter recess, a 100 percent voting record, casting votes on a number of issues, including legislation relative harsher penalties for repeat offenders, and an increase in funding to the Welcome Home Bonus account for returning veterans. Representative Jones also registered votes on multiple pieces of legislation relative to capping state pensions at $100,000, and requiring state agencies to verify every adult’s lawful presence when applying for state or federal public benefits.

Additionally, Representative Jones voted in favor of an alternative Congressional redistricting map that would have created a more contiguous Berkshire and Worcester county representation while retaining the same benefits of the Committee's map, including a majority minority seat centered in Boston.

“I hope everyone in the 20^th Middlesex District knows how appreciative I am to those who continue to send me to Beacon Hill to represent the town of North Reading and parts of Reading, Lynnfield and Middleton,” said Representative Jones.  “I hope my voting record reflects just how thankful I am for the opportunity to serve and how serious I take my ongoing commitment to representing the people in the district.”

Representative Jones’ streak of not missing a roll call continues and currently stands at 5,297.

Formal sessions will resume in January.
