Dear Chief Clerk Fuller:
I have been granted an excused absence for the Extraordinary Session on July 28, 2015. I have unsuccessfully attempted to pair my vote. Therefore, I wanted it to be entered into the Assembly Journal that I would have voted “No” on the final passage of Senate Bill 209. Thank you.
Sincerely,
JEREMY THIESFELDT
State Representative
52nd Assembly District
