Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) strongly opposed Congress passing a $1.102 trillion spending bill but when it came time to vote, he didn’t follow through.
Ahead of the vote Stockman, who is running to unseat Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), made clear how he would vote on the bill.
A $1 TRILLION spending bill? I’m voting NO. http://t.co/XuD0vpjzZU #omnibus #tcot #teaparty #gop #ocra #rush #republicans #hhrs #sgp #tlot

But when it came time to vote, Stockman didn’t. The Texas congressman is in the congressional record as one of seven lawmakers who didn’t vote.
As the Austin American-Statesman notes, this is becoming a regular occurrence for him. For almost a week now Stockman has missed every vote in his chamber, starting on January 10.
