The Bedford Rep Report

Last November Bedford voters elected 7 Republican State Representatives to the NH House in Concord, six of whom represent district 7 which covers the town of Bedford only, and one, Laurie Sanborn, who represents a floterial district comprised of the towns of Bedford and Amherst.

In this first report, the roll call votes of each Rep were taken into consideration cumulatively from January, the beginning of the 2015 session, up until February 18th. The percentages next to their names represent how often that Rep voted with the majority of Republicans.

You can see which individual bills had roll calls and how they each voted on them by visiting their respective state websites, which are linked.

In the future, each week, we’ll be reporting on how our Reps from Bedford 7 and 41 voted on each bill for which there was a roll call, so check back!
