STATEHOUSE (Oct. 1, 2012) — Senate President Pro Tempore David Long (R-Fort Wayne) today praised State Sen. Travis Holdman (R-Markle) for his outstanding 2012 voting attendance record of 99.5 percent.

“Senator Holdman continues to do a terrific job of representing Hoosiers in Senate District 19, and that’s demonstrated through his exemplary voting record,” Long said. “He takes his responsibilities as a state lawmaker seriously.”

Holdman held a 100 percent voting record for the first two sessions following his election to the Indiana Senate in 2008. In 2011, his voting record was 99.6 percent.

Long added that Holdman’s floor votes totaled 368.  

“This session, 161 Senate bills moved to the Governor’s desk,” Long said. “These pieces of legislation represent the people’s work, including ensuring workplace freedom, eliminating Indiana’s inheritance tax, funding full-day kindergarten and streamlining college credit transferability.”

State records show that 158 of the 161 bills that went to the Governor for his signature into law were bipartisan in nature. Of these, 91 bills were unanimous.
