\u201cEvery vote is an opportunity to speak for the people of Ohio\u2019s Fifth Congressional District, and it is my duty in Congress to make sure their voices are heard,\u201d Congressman Latta said.\u00a0\u201cMissing a vote means silencing their voice in Congress, and that is not something I take lightly. This streak\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0about setting a record,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0about accountability.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m\u00a0honored to hold the longest, consecutive voting\u00a0record\u00a0of any sitting Member of the U.S. House of Representatives,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em>Congressman Latta\u2019s exemplary attendance record is the gold standard for every House Republican. Bob is a team player and shows up ready to work for the people of his district,\u201d Majority Whip Leader Tom Emmer said. \u201cThat\u2019s really what service is all about.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latta has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since December, 2007, when he replaced the late Paul Gillmor. He has since won re-election nine times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
