What They Spoke On

Appropriations run through much of Hoyer's indexed remarks. A financial services bill leads at five, with a consolidated act, a state department bill and a further continuing act accounting for eight more. Ukraine, the January 6 attack and a resolution of support follow at three each.

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.

What Their Votes Add Up To

Measures that reached a final vote, grouped by subject. A yes here means pass the thing, which is why the count leaves out motions to recommit, to table and to proceed: on those a no can be support. Which subject a measure belongs to is this site's reading, and every measure in every subject is listed. A subject below links to its own measures.

Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks Steny H. Hoyer as speaking in 43 items of business across 36 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.
