What is on this page

Every recorded vote of the 119th Congress in which the Clerk of the House lists this member, taken from their own per-vote records. Nothing is sampled and nothing is left out.

The House votes Yea and Nay on the floor and Aye and No in the Committee of the Whole. They are different words for the same two answers, and the site keeps the word the Clerk recorded as well as which side it fell on.

The statements are not complete and are not meant to be. A measure with no statement against it means only that none has been indexed here.

Where the words are

The Congressional Record marks John James as speaking in 13 items of business across 13 sitting days of this Congress. 8 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.

What this covers

Up to 12 of this member's most recent floor remarks, taken verbatim from the Congressional Record with the page each is printed on. Procedural turns are left out: yielding time, reserving time, moving to suspend the rules.

Not covered.

Everything else this member said. The page says how many items of business they are marked as speaking in.
Any reading of the remarks. Where a vote is shown beside them it is because both are on the same measure that day, which is a fact about the two records and not a judgment.

A vote shown against remarks means the member spoke on that measure and voted on it the same day. It is not a claim that the words and the vote agree or disagree.
