Sawyer has Perfect Voting, Attendance Record

Legislator in her Eighth Term Serving Four Towns

HARTFORD—State Rep. Pamela Sawyer achieved a 100 percent voting record in the last legislative session, according to House of Representatives statistics. 

There are 151 members in the state’s House of Representatives and Sawyer (R-55) is one of roughly two dozen of them to notch a 100 percent voting and attendance record during the 2008 session, according to a statistical summary recently released by the General Assembly’s House Clerk’s Office.

Sawyer, a Bolton resident, voted 300 times.

“People in my district deserve a legislator who consistently advocates on their behalf,” she said. “My record reflects my commitment to them.”

Sawyer said she remembers missing fewer than 10 votes since starting as a legislator in 1993, and most of those came on a night she attended a graduation ceremony for her daughter. 

Sawyer serves on the following legislative committees: Education, Higher Education, Legislative Management and Transportation.
