Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks Jason Smith as speaking in 65 items of business across 31 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.
