Rep. Giegler Achieves Perfect Voting Record
State Representative Jan Giegler (R-Danbury, New Fairfield) this year distinguished herself in the legislature by registering a 100 percent voting record in the General Assembly during the 2010 legislative session, according to records released by the Clerk of the House of Representatives.
Rep. Giegler made all 271 votes on the floor of the State House of Representatives. She is just one of 41 House legislators to attain this accomplishment. There are 151 members serving in the House.
“My constituents demand and deserve a voice in the legislature, and I take that charge very seriously,” said Rep. Giegler. “Certainly, casting my vote in my committees and on the floor of the House is one of the most important functions I perform for the residents of the 138th District. Moving forward, I will continue to do my best to advocate on behalf of the people I represent in Danbury and New Fairfield. “
Representative Giegler also had a 100 percent attendance and voting record in the Public Health Committee for its Public Hearings and Committee meetings, where she serves as the Ranking Member. She was elected to her fourth term in the House in 2008.
Rep. Giegler re-elected to leadership role with national organization
State Rep. Janice Giegler, (R-Danbury) was recently re-nominated by the Women In Government organization to serve as a Connecticut state director representing the House Republican caucus. As state director, she will serve a 2-year term from December 2009- December 2011. Rep. Giegler was first elected as State Director in 2003.
Women In Government is a national 501(c)(3), non-profit, bi-partisan organization of women state legislators providing leadership opportunities, networking, expert forums, and educational resources to address and resolve complex public policy issues.
