Senator Charbonneau Recognized for Perfect Voting Record
(STATEHOUSE) – State Senator Ed Charbonneau (R-Valparaiso) was recognized today by Senate President Pro Tempore David Long (R-Fort Wayne) for achieving an outstanding voting attendance record of 100 percent during the 2008 legislative session.
“Legislators are elected to be the voice of their constituents at the Statehouse,” Long said. “This is often much easier said than done. Senators frequently have meetings, visitors and many other activities occurring simultaneously. Senator Charbonneau’s commitment to the citizens he represents is clearly shown by his excellent voting attendance record.”
In addition to votes on bills, there are also votes on amendments, committee reports and procedural motions. Charbonneau did not miss any of these votes.
“Representing the citizens in Senate District 5 is an honor,” Charbonneau said. “I am dedicated to doing the best job possible in order to make decisions at the Statehouse that will improve the lives of my constituents, and that requires being present for every vote.”
Sen. Charbonneau represents Senate District 5, which includes Starke County and portions of Porter, LaPorte, Marshall, Jasper, Pulaski, and St. Joseph counties.
