What They Spoke On

Health is the recurring subject in Cassidy's indexed remarks. Healthcare leads at nine, with health insurance and a patient freedom bill accounting for four more. Flood insurance follows at four, then a forged images bill, a continuing appropriations act and the nomination of Todd Blanche at two each.

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 Bill Cassidy as speaking in 167 items of business across 77 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.
