Did Your Senators Just Vote For Or Against ENDA? Here’s The Complete List
In an historic vote, minutes ago the U.S Senate voted to begin debate on ENDA. Needing 60 votes to avoid a GOP filibuster, the vote was exceptionally close — just 61-30.

After many minutes — and what seemed like hours — of the vote tally stuck with 59 “yeas,” two Republican Senators, Rob Portman and Pat Toomey, voted “aye” and the motion passed.
The Senate is expected to vote on the complete legislation later this week.
So, how did your Senators vote?
If one (or both) of your U.S. Senators is a Democrat, they voted aye — but some ENDA supporters were missing, which could have thrown ENDA into turmoil. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) were both reportedly “on airplanes” and did not vote. Sen. McCaskill was reportedly returning from a funeral at the time of the vote. On total, there were nine Senators not voting, including John McCain (R-AZ) and Rand Paul (R-KY), among several others.
Only seven Republicans crossed the aisle and voted to allow debate on ENDA. They are Senators Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Rob Portman (R-OH), Pat Toomey (R-PA), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Dean Heller (R-NV).
Other notable GOP Senators voting “no” included Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, Richard Shelby, and Jeff Flake.
