Democrat Rep. Jared Golden (ME) used proxy voting Thursday in order to save House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) partisan Capitol security funding bill after he pledged to not use the voting style for “family responsibilities” regardless of a pandemic.
Golden was the last remaining vote to pass the Capitol funding bill. The final votes were recorded with a one-vote margin, 213 to 212, with three of the squad members voting against and three voting present on the bill.
The Democrat wrote a letter to the clerk of the House of Representatives dated the same day as the vote, Thursday, May 20. Golden was notifying the clerk of his “new proxy” in order to cast his vote.
