- 2026-07-30RECOGNIZING GORAN RANNEFORS UPON HIS RETIREMENT“Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the contributions to the Nation of Goran Rannefors, a senior executive at Education First (EF), upon his retirement. I proudly represent the EF Academy in Pasadena, a high school that brings students from more than 30 countries to California's 28th District and has taken a leading role in helping our communities recover from the Eaton Fire.”
- 2026-06-09SECURE AMERICA ACT“Mr. Speaker, once again, Republicans are showing the American people exactly where their priorities lie. They claim there is no money for healthcare, no money for affordable housing, no money for childcare, and no money for gas, which costs an arm and a leg.”
- 2026-06-03PREVENTING WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE IN TANF ACT“Madam Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 8872, the Preventing Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in TANF Act. Let me remind us of one of the biggest TANF fraud scandals of all time.”
- 2026-06-03NO FUNDS FOR REPEAT CHILD CARE VIOLATIONS ACT OF 2026“Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 7726, the Stop Child Care Scams Act. As families across the country struggle with the high cost of childcare, Republicans are advancing legislation that would make it easier for the Trump administration to withhold funding that helps working people afford childcare and helps providers keep their doors open.”

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Judy Chu as speaking in 48 items of business across 40 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.
