OKLAHOMA CITY – State Representative Jason Murphey (R-Guthrie) made sure that he was representing House District 31 citizens by being present to vote in all but eleven roll call votes during the 2007 and the 2008 legislative session. During the two-year time frame, the freshman Republican voted in 2,806 out of 2,817 roll call votes, or 99.6% of the time.

"One of my goals has been to be present for as many roll call votes as possible. I want to demonstrate to the voters that I am taking their trust seriously," Murphey said. Murphey explained that his eleven missed votes appear to have been mostly procedural ones that were quickly closed. This means that Murphey appears to have voted on most substantive issues.

Murphey's two-year record of missing only eleven votes places him among the highest attending Representatives in the House during that time.
