Roll Calls for 2020

Our legislators on Beacon Hill continue to vote against common sense and against the will of the people. On this page we will be posting roll calls and explanations of what amendments and bills are being taken up on Beacon Hill.

Some legislators can be lobbied and persuaded to do the right thing if they hear from enough constituents. Others are beholden to leadership and left-wing interest groups, and must be defeated. Which category do your legislators fall into? Roll calls indicating how they vote can provide a clue.  If you’d like more info and to get more involved, email us at Activism@RenewMACoalition.org.
