Each row is a vote this official cast in a public meeting, most recent first, read from the meeting record it links to. This list stops at 50 votes, which is as many as we currently collect per official on this source — earlier votes very likely exist in the meeting record and are not shown yet.

This official's seat and votes are drawn from public meeting records compiled through open agenda. This record is dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0 (CC0): the roster and the votes may be reused freely. Local officials have no federal campaign-finance filings, so no finance data appears here.
