What They Spoke On
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act leads Davis's indexed remarks at five, and a TANF bill follows at three. A tribute to Charles Rangel and a foster care data bill account for two each. Single remarks reach further, taking in gun violence awareness month.
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.
- One Big Beautiful Bill Act5
- Preventing Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in TANF Act3
- In Honor of Charles Rangel2
- Recruiting Families Using Data Act of 20252

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Danny K. Davis as speaking in 57 items of business across 34 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.
