The photograph, shared to Instagram Aug. 11 from her son's account, was captioned "France Pt. 1" and shows Axne standing alongside her husband and son.
In an August 12 letter to Cheryl Johnson, the clerk for the House of Representatives, Axne said she was "unable to physically attend proceedings in the House Chamber due to the ongoing public health emergency" and granted the authority to cast her vote by proxy to Rep. Jennifer Wexton, D-Va.
