* The LD 30 seat vacated by Rep. Antenori – who had been appointed to the Senate – was not filled by Rep. Vogt until after the Seventh Special Session, which contained three (3) of the five (5) bills considered in this voting record. Because the seat was vacant and Rep. Vogt was not a member of the House, those three bills do not count as missed votes according to the Arizona Legislative voting record. Therefore, those three bills are not part of those considered in Rep. Vogt’s voting record.
