What They Spoke On

Nothing in Bennet's indexed remarks passes three. A continuing appropriations act, H.R. 1 and a voter eligibility bill lead, then pairs on the Boulder attack, budget reconciliation, the GENIUS Act, a parliamentary inquiry and a Senate resolution.

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.

Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks Michael F. Bennet as speaking in 335 items of business across 64 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.
