What They Spoke On

Only one heading repeats in Mfume's indexed remarks, a tribute to an author and director. Everything else appears once, much of it honoring figures from Baltimore.

What Their Votes Add Up To

Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks Kweisi Mfume as speaking in 27 items of business across 21 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.
