This website contains only facts -- all links are available to investigate yourself.
Legislators missing a vote here-and-there is common. Family, health, and other big obligations can, on occasion, get in the way. However, when one legislator's absences far surpass any other, it's important to take notice. The term "chronic absenteeism" is used in education for kids who miss 10% or more of school - Regina English is chronically absent to her job as State Representative. For a job representing 80,000 Coloradans, voters might expect a Representative that will reliably show up.

Legislation She Has Sponsored
Is she passing worthwhile legislation for Colorado Springs while she is there? Take a look at all of the bills she has sponsored.
One example of legislation she sponsored:
Here she tried to make it mandatory to pay an annual fee for each pet you own. Dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, hamster, mouse, rat, gerbil, ferret, bird, fish, reptile, or amphibian. One aquarium could have cost you over $100 annually if this bill passed.
"A pet animal owner must register the pet animal in the system annually for a fee set by the enterprise, which must be no more than $8.50 annually per pet animal with a designated caregiver, $16 annually per pet animal that is a dog or cat that is not neutered or spayed and has a designated caregiver, and $25 annually per pet animal without a designated caregiver. "
Anti-LGBTQ+ Votes
Rep. English consistently votes against LBGTQ rights.
"English joined members of Colorado’s Republican caucus to vote to deny the basic freedom of marriage to LGBTQ people. During previous contentious LGBTQ bills this session, — Non-Legal Name Changes and Name Change to Conform with Gender Identity — English was excused from voting." - Colorado Times Recorder on May 15, 2024
During "House Bill 25-1312, dubbed the Kelly Loving Act in honor of a transgender woman killed during the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs, [...] Regina English of Colorado Springs [,,,] joined Republicans in voting against accepting the amendments to the bill." - Colorado Newsline May 6, 2025
​
And most recently, on international woman's day, HJR26-1020 was being debated when Republicans put forward an anti-trans amendment stating a "woman" is only defined as someone chromosomally homogenetic (XX). She was the only Democrat to vote yes on this amendment. - March 9, 2026
