Senate Roll Call

MTA's record includes all votes cast by legislators that affect public education. Scores have been weighted to reflect the fact that not all votes are of equal importance. MTA recognizes that a voting record is but one measure of a legislator's support for public education, but it is one of the most concrete measures of that support.
