Analyzing The Utah Legislature: Roll Call Partisanship 2008 — House
It’s finally here. The 2008 Utah legislature partisan voting survey. Background information at this post. The last two weeks have seen data back to 2005 posted on Brian’s Utah Weblog.
Congratulations are due to Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck (D-SLC) for establishing the highest Democratic rating in her very first session as a representative.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen my own Representative Jackie Biskupski (D-SLC) so far down one of these lists before. Soon I’ll be posting on the votes that make up these ratings so we can drill a little deeper into what happened.

Brian,
What is the vote that Litvack missed?
April 29th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Seth, It was the resolution to establish Ronald Reagan day, as amended. Litvack had earlier voted to support the original Ronald Reagan day resolution.
