House Passes Pay Freeze Extension – How Did Reps Vote?

The House voted late Wednesday to extend the pay freeze on federal employees and members of Congress for one year. How did each individual Representative vote?

The House voted late Wednesday to pass HR 3835, Rep. Sean Duffy’s (R-WI) bill that would extend the current pay freeze for federal employees and members of Congress for one year.

The bill passed by a vote of 309 to 117. 72 Democrats joined Republicans in support of the legislation and only two Republicans voted against it.

A group of 17 Democrats in Congress recently sent a letter voicing their opposition to additional cuts that would harm federal employees. Interestingly, all but one of these members of Congress kept their word on voting against bills such as this pay freeze extension legislation. Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) voted in favor of the pay freeze bill while the other eligible members voted against it.

What was the voting record of each individual Representative on this particular legislation? The table below shows how the vote turned out.
