Where the words are

The Congressional Record marks Elissa Slotkin as speaking in 68 items of business across 28 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.
