What They Spoke On

Booker has few headings that appear more than once, so the shape here is thin: Senate pages at six, the AGOA Extension Act at four, and the nomination of Russell Vought at three. Most of what is indexed sits under a heading used only once, which the list below does not reach.

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 Cory A. Booker as speaking in 236 items of business across 53 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.
