What They Spoke On
Only one heading repeats in Pocan's indexed remarks, and it is a single word used as a heading three times. Everything else appears once, taking in a state supreme court election and the reopening of the government.
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.

- 2026-07-22STOP INSIDER TRADING ACT“As a Member of Congress, I don't own any individual stocks because, as a byproduct of my job, I get inside information on many publicly traded companies.

- 2026-07-21CUBAN BLOCKADE IS INHUMANE“Mr. Speaker, I just got back from a fact-finding trip to Cuba a week ago after having visited the country 30 years ago and 3\1/ 2\ years ago, as well.”
- 2025-12-11PROTECT AMERICA'S WORKFORCE ACT“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge us to pass this discharge petition. Earlier this year, Donald Trump did an illegal executive order, stripping a million Federal workers from their collective bargaining rights, rights they have had since 1962.”
What Their Votes Add Up To

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Mark Pocan as speaking in 14 items of business across 13 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.
