No gradeNo grade yetI have no votes in Congress to count for Byrd, and what Byrd has said and done settles only 0 of my principles. I went through it on October 19. A grade needs 4.

Suzie Byrd, on the record
I have no votes in Congress to count for Byrd, so the grade above comes from this list: what Byrd has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.

Said in a Facebook post, as quoted by News 9, that the country is rich enough to afford universal health care.
“we are the richest country in the world and we can afford it”
- By the test I use for votes
- Not clear either way
News 9 ties the quote to universal health care, but the quoted words do not name it, so it is not counted.
