What They Spoke On
Only one heading repeats in Garcia's indexed remarks, on the administration at three. Everything else appears once, taking in four bills affecting the nation's capital and the election of judges in Texas.
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 Robert Garcia as speaking in 25 items of business across 21 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.
