WI-HD30: Report: Wisconsin state Rep. Shannon Zimmerman (R) missed 225 votes last session

A report from the progressive think tank A Better Wisconsin Together revealed that Wisconsin state Rep. Shannon Zimmerman (R-River Falls) missed 225 votes during the 2025-26 legislative session.

The report cites videos of sessions recorded by WisconsinEye, the state’s public affairs network, which show that Zimmerman requested a leave of absence and did not show up to sessions on six different occasions.

Zimmerman also missed three sessions of the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) on June 17, 2025, Aug. 21, 2025 and Feb. 3, 2026, which is his only committee assignment. The JFC only has 16 members and approves matters pertaining to the state budget.

During the most recent JFC meeting on Feb. 3, Zimmerman missed a vote on a $10 million grant to increase funding for mental health services in the western part of the Chippewa Valley region of the state.
