What They Spoke On

Defense appropriations account for 15 of McCollum's indexed remarks, far ahead of anything else. A commerce and justice appropriations bill follows at three, then pairs on attacks on Minnesota lawmakers, a consolidated appropriations act, a disinterment, and two groups of measures she names in support or opposition.

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 Betty McCollum as speaking in 84 items of business across 63 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.
