What They Spoke On

Little repeats in García's indexed remarks. The 2027 budget request and a community center anniversary lead at three each, then voting rights at two. The rest are single remarks, taking in a township anniversary and a bill on sensitive locations.

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.

Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks Jesús G. "Chuy" García as speaking in 45 items of business across 43 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.
