Only three headings repeat in what Duckworth has on the record here, on border security, on the Department of Government Efficiency and on the War Powers Resolution. Everything else appears once, taking in the farm bill and veterans staffing.

Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks Tammy Duckworth as speaking in 108 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.
