2017 | Virginia YOUR LEGISLATORS’ VOTING RECORD ON VOTING RECORD SMALL BUSINESS ISSUES: 2017 EDITION Issues from the 2016 and 2017 General Assembly Sessions: Floor votes by your state legislators on key small business issues during the past two sessions of the Virginia General Assembly are listed inside. Although this Voting Record does not reflect all elements considered by a lawmaker when voting or represent a complete profile of a legislator, it can be a guide in evaluating your legislator’s attitude toward small business. Note that many issues that affect small business are addressed in committees and never make it to a floor vote in the House or Senate. Please thank those legislators who supported small business and continue to work with those whose scores have fallen short. 2016 Legislation 5.
