Additional Comments: Post from Jason Michael on the Gun Owners of Vermont Facebook page, 9/1/2016: "Jay Hooper stopped by this evening. He is running for rep in the Orange-Washington-Addison district. 'Vermonts gun laws are fine the way they are,' yet he publicly supports Universal Background Checks." In 2018, he voted against having a public hearing on S.55 (bad), yet voted AGAINST S.55 (good) on the floor. He also voted FOR H.422. 2020: Voted NO on S. 169.
