Washington: NETWORK, A National Catholic Social Justice Lobby, has released its annual voting record,which tracks the 2014 voting history of all Members of Congress on important justice issues. This year’s chart includes votes on key issues such as raising the minimum wage, emergency unemployment compensation, humane border enforcement, immigration and paycheck fairness.

In scoring their votes, we were pleased that 43 senators and 96 House members scored a perfect 100% on these issues and others, including protection of the Affordable Act.

The current issue of our magazine, the Connection, includes the complete voting record, an article on our legislative agenda for 2015, and a compelling article by Representative Barbara Lee on ways to address high poverty rates in the U.S.
