What They Spoke On

Almost nothing repeats in Cohen's indexed remarks. Three headings appear twice, on Azerbaijan, on a bill counting federal crimes, and on a medical heading. The rest are single remarks, taking in fracking and the definition of criminal conduct.

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 Steve Cohen as speaking in 64 items of business across 52 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.
