#37, Steve Southerland (FL-02)

(This is part of my 2014 U.S. House voting guide.)

Here, Southerland tells us that he hates his job, apparently (all the more reason to return him to private life).

Here, he came up with an amendment to a bill requiring SNAP recipients to work 20 hours a week at a minimum or have their benefits cut off (nice guy).

He organized a “men only” fundraiser along with Governor Bully and Lex Luthor Scott here (nice – Southerland is defending his seat in a contest against Dem Gwen Graham, daughter of former Senator and Governor Bob Graham),

He helped to vote down a measure here that would have discouraged the government from giving contracts to companies that have committed wage theft.

He “pink-washed” his sexist campaign and votes here (what a guy).

And let's not forget that, like just about everyone else in his party in the U.S. House (including Mikey the Beloved), Southerland voted to extend the government shut down here.

As noted above, Southerland is opposed in the 2014 election by Dem Gwen Graham - to help her, click here.

Update 11/6/14: Not much to cheer about from Tuesday on the "D" side, but nice work here.
