What They Spoke On

Little repeats in Omar's indexed remarks. Five fall under resolutions directing the President under the War Powers Resolution, and two under a heading on immigration enforcement and surveillance. The rest are single remarks, most of them recognizing people in Minnesota.

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.

What Their Votes Add Up To

Measures that reached a final vote, grouped by subject. A yes here means pass the thing, which is why the count leaves out motions to recommit, to table and to proceed: on those a no can be support. Which subject a measure belongs to is this site's reading, and every measure in every subject is listed. A subject below links to its own measures.

Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks Ilhan Omar as speaking in 79 items of business across 67 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.
