What is on this page

Every recorded vote of the 119th Congress in which the Clerk of the House lists this member, taken from their own per-vote records. Nothing is sampled and nothing is left out.

The House votes Yea and Nay on the floor and Aye and No in the Committee of the Whole. They are different words for the same two answers, and the site keeps the word the Clerk recorded as well as which side it fell on.

The statements are not complete and are not meant to be. A measure with no statement against it means only that none has been indexed here.

H R 3838: On Agreeing to the Amendment · Shomari Figures voted for (Aye)

Roll Call 244, 119th Congress, 1st Session

The remarks and the vote are both on H.R. 3838 on this day. Shomari Figures voted Aye on on agreeing to the amendment. The site records that they concern the same measure and has not read one against the other.

Where the words are

The Congressional Record marks Shomari Figures as speaking in 45 items of business across 26 sitting days of this Congress. 12 statements indexed here so far.

That count is where to look, not how much was said. Most appearances are procedural: a yield of time, a request to revise and extend, a call for the yeas and nays.

It is also a floor and not a total. The count comes from the Record's own metadata, which tags who spoke in each item of business, and that tagging is not complete: checking the text turns up passages by members the metadata does not tag at all. A member may have said more than this says.
