Reply to comment by ak47workaccnt in Is it possible to find out how my State Senator voted on a bill? by Victor_Korchnoi

That would be helpful if I only cared about them voting “progressively” or “conservatively.” My political views are a little more nuanced—or should I say don’t align perfectly with the majority view of either party.

My area is going to elect a Democrat, so I’m not all that worried that the Mass legislature is going to be sending fake electors to certify the presidential election. What I’m looking for in my state reps is someone who wants more dense housing, safer streets where you can walk & bike, and improved transit.

Specifically I’m trying to learn about their votes on H.3931 about whether to require loosening zoning restrictions near MBTA stops.

For something that specific I'd recommend emailing your representative directly. They might tell you where they stand, if they aren't cowards.

That bill never made it to the floor for a vote so your legislators would only have voted on it if they served on the transportation committee for the 2019-2020 session (assuming there was an actual committee vote). A similar proposal passed as part of the economic development bill that session.

Gotcha. I thought it had become law, but I guess I had it confused with the provision in the economic development bill. Thanks

If you are referring to the economic development bill (H.5250), it passed unanimously in the Senate.
