What They Spoke On
Only one heading repeats in what DeSaulnier has on the record here, on funding for a suicide hotline for LGBTQ young people. Everything else appears once, much of it recognizing public servants in the San Francisco Bay Area.
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.

- 2026-07-23RECOGNIZING LIFE AND SERVICE OF SUE RAINEY“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and service of Sue Rainey, a remarkable public servant in the San Francisco Bay Area. Sue served as the mayor of Moraga, California, in the late 1970s and later as the mayor of Walnut Creek, California, from 2001 to 2010, where she worked diligently to develop that city into the business, retail, and arts hub that it is today.”
- 2026-07-16E-CIGARETTES ADDICT YOUNG PEOPLE“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my outrage about recent FDA regulatory actions on e-cigarettes. On April 30, Reynolds American donated $5 million to MAGA Inc., a Trump-backed super-PAC.”
- 2026-06-25DISMANTLING OF DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to strongly oppose the transfer of special education programs from the Department of Education to the Department of Health and Human Services. HHS Secretary Kennedy has troubling and ignorant views on disabilities and is woefully unqualified to oversee programs supporting more than 8 million students and their families.”
- 2026-06-04RECOGNIZING COACH JACK CLARK“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Coach Jack Clark, the architect of one of the greatest college sports programs in the history of the United States and his induction into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame.”
What Their Votes Add Up To

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Mark DeSaulnier as speaking in 80 items of business across 60 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.
