Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Maxine Dexter as speaking in 79 items of business across 67 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.
