What They Spoke On
Nothing in Simon's indexed remarks passes two. Attacks on nonprofits, Oakland firefighters, a violent offenders bill and a bill on violence against women each appear twice. Everything else appears once, taking in the civil rights movement.
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.
- Attacks on Nonprofits2
- Celebrating 22 Oakland California's Brave Firefighters2
- Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act of 20252
- Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act2

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Lateefah Simon as speaking in 47 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.
