Republican Reps. Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) of Michigan and Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR) of Arkansas have now both cast their 2,500th vote in the House, meaning the two Republicans share “the longest continuous voting streak among their current colleagues in the House.”
Amash, a Tea Party Republican, elected in the GOP wave of 2010 wave of tea-party candidates, noted the achievement in a Facebook post: “I just cast my 2,500th straight vote in Congress without having missed a vote. That’s the longest active vote streak of any representative.”
Since last night’s round of votes, Amash and Womack have now each racked up 2,520 consecutive roll-call votes. By comparison, the average representative has missed 2.4 percent of votes over their time in office. “I’m honored to set an example as a congressman who votes every time and explains every vote,” Amash said in a statement to National Journal.
