What They Spoke On
A resolution denouncing an attack in Boulder leads Van Drew's indexed remarks at three. Pairs follow on the Laken Riley Act and a privacy bill. Everything else appears once, taking in an Eagle Scout in New Jersey.
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.
- Denouncing the Antisemitic Terrorist Attack in Boulder…3
- Laken Riley Act2
- Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act2

The United States is confronting a regime that has spent decades chanting ``Death to America;'' a regime whose proxies like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, just to name a few, have been responsible for the deaths of hundreds and hundreds of American troops; a regime that is working relentlessly toward a nuclear weapon.”
- 2026-02-11VETERANS ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE ACT OF 2025“Mr. Speaker, how is this even a serious debate? Think about what my colleagues on the other side are saying today. They are saying that American minorities are not capable of showing an ID to vote.”
- 2025-11-18EPSTEIN FILES TRANSPARENCY ACT“Mr. Speaker, today I want to talk about hypocrisy. Let me be clear. I was a cosponsor of this very bill from the beginning, from jump start, because we should never protect pedophiles.”

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Jefferson Van Drew as speaking in 36 items of business across 13 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.
