What They Spoke On

Little repeats in Pressley's indexed remarks. A church celebration leads at three, then pairs on tax credits under the Affordable Care Act, field hearing testimony, the age at which a minor may be tried as an adult, and child safety. Single remarks reach further, taking in the Hyde Amendment.

The business the Congressional Record printed their remarks under, counted, with the chamber's own procedure left out. It is what was before the chamber, which is not always what the member was addressing.

Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks Ayanna Pressley as speaking in 54 items of business across 45 sitting days of this Congress.

Many of those appearances are procedural: yielding time, a request to revise and extend, a call for the yeas and nays. The count comes from the Record's own speaker tagging, which is not complete, so a member may have spoken more often than it shows.
