Congressional Voting Record
 How do your senators and representatives vote?
AAUW’s congressional voting record informs AAUW members of positions taken by their senators and representatives on the Association's federal legislative priorities. AAUW members have a long history of lobbying Congress and holding their legislators accountable for how they vote on AAUW priority issues.
The specific legislation included in this voting record for the 110th Congress was selected on the basis of AAUW’s public policy priorities and principles as adopted by AAUW convention delegates in 2007.
This voting record provides information about how senators and representatives voted on AAUW’s issues including education, economic security, civil rights, and budget and appropriations.
