What Sharon's Voting Record Shows

Votes against NH-resident interests on

  • ▼ Education (4 of 4 clear votes)
  • ▼ Other (3 of 3 clear votes)

Categories are listed only when this rep has at least 3 clear-direction votes (on a harmful or beneficial bill) and >=75% of those votes went one way.

How this is scored: "Aligned" votes mean this rep voted to support a beneficial bill (impact 8–10) or to oppose a harmful bill (impact 1–3). "Concerning" votes are the inverse. Kill motions (ITL, interim study) are inverted: a YES on ITL counts as opposing the bill. Concur votes are treated as neutral (a No can mean "I want the stricter original," not "I oppose the bill"). Mid-impact bills (4–7) and procedural amendments are not scored.
