96

Have you heard Rep. Garthwaite's latest radio ad where he boasts about his bipartisanship?

It's pretty misleading so allow us to state the facts and let you make up your mind.

Out of a total 576 votes on proposals on the Assembly Floor, Garthwaite only split from his party 22 times.

That's 22 bipartisan votes out of 576, giving Garthwaite a partisanship rating of 96%.

Does that seem like bipartisanship to you?

***In case you're interested, the only significant vote of those 22 took place when he broke with the party line against a statewide smoking ban.
