What is on this page

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

The Senate records Yea and Nay, and Guilty or Not Guilty on an impeachment. The site keeps the word 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.

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. 12 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.
