What is on this page

Every recorded vote of the 119th Congress in which the Clerk of the House lists this member, taken from the Clerk's own per-vote records. Nothing is sampled and nothing is left out.

The House uses Yea and Nay on the floor and Aye and No in the Committee of the Whole. They are different words for the same two answers, and the site keeps the word the Clerk recorded as well as which side it fell on.

The statements are not complete and are not meant to be. A measure with no statement against it means only that none has been indexed here.

Votes set against a statement

These votes are shown in full because a statement is indexed against them. Every other vote is in the table further down.

Roll Call 102, 119th Congress, 1st Session

What was said, and what was done

Debate on H.R. 22, the SAVE Act

Position a stated view of what a measure does or is for

House floor · Congressional Record, April 10, 2025, p. H1577

What was said
“The point of this bill is to ensure that we guarantee only citizens vote by allowing those States to be able to check, by having systems, Federal systems be open to the States to be able to check, and to require proof of citizenship when you register.”

Chip Roy, Congressional Record, April 10, 2025, p. H1577

Roy, the bill's sponsor, describing what H.R. 22 is for during the debate that preceded the vote on passage. The requirement he names is the one carried by section 2 of the Act as it passed.

In plain English

He says what the bill is for. It would let states check if you are a citizen. It would make you show proof when you sign up to vote.

Debate on H.R. 22, the SAVE Act

Claim an assertion of fact

House floor · Congressional Record, April 10, 2025, p. H1577

What was said
“I would note that five of my Democratic colleagues joined us last summer to vote for this bill, hardly a partisan exercise to say that we should protect the elections of the American people.”

Chip Roy, Congressional Record, April 10, 2025, p. H1577

A claim about a vote in the previous Congress, which is not indexed on this site. Nothing is matched to it. On the vote taken the same day as this statement, the Clerk's record shows four Democrats voting yea.

In plain English

He says five Democrats voted for the bill last summer. That was a different vote in an earlier Congress. We have not put that vote on this site.

Set against the record

Nothing on this site is matched to this statement. What it refers to is named in the summary.

Where the words are

The Congressional Record marks Chip Roy as speaking in 67 items of business across 48 sitting days of this Congress. 3 statements indexed here so far.

That count is where to look, not how much was said. Most appearances are procedural: a yield of time, a request to revise and extend, a call for the yeas and nays.

It is also a floor and not a total. The count comes from the Record's own metadata, which tags who spoke in each item of business, and that tagging is not complete: checking the text turns up passages by members the metadata does not tag at all. A member may have said more than this says.

What this covers

Two corpora of different reach, and the difference is stated rather than hidden. The votes are complete: every recorded vote of the 119th Congress in which the Clerk of the House lists this member. The statements are selected: floor remarks printed in the Congressional Record, indexed where they bear on a measure he then voted on. Both sides carry their own citation.

Not covered.

Most of what he has said. The vote record below is complete; the statements are not, and a measure with no statement against it means only that none has been indexed.
Nothing in the debate indexed so far is a pledge. A member describing what a bill is for has stated a position, not made a promise, and the entries say so rather than dressing one up as the other.
Campaign statements, interviews, press releases and social media. Only the Congressional Record is indexed here, because it is the one venue that prints a member's words verbatim with a citable page.
Committee votes, amendments and procedural votes other than those recorded below.
Everything this member has said and done other than on the measure below. This is one worked example, not a record of a career.

A match records that a statement and a vote concern the same measure, and says how they line up. It is not a score, and the site never says whether a member kept or broke anything. A reader who wants that conclusion draws it from the two cited records.
