Grassley casts 11,000th vote in U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley has cast his 11,000 Senate vote. Only 23 senators in history have cast more votes than Grassley.

In addition, no senator serving today has gone as long as Grassley has without missing a vote.  Grassley has cast 6,473 consecutive votes.

“Not missing votes is a way to demonstrate respect for the public trust I hold in representing Iowans and to do the job I’m elected to do,” Grassley said.  “When the Senate’s in session, I’m in Washington voting, and when the Senate is out of session, I’m in Iowa holding meetings with constituents.”
