MD-08: who represents you and what they did

Computed by us from the roll call records published by the House Clerk and the Senate; identical rules apply to every member. Eligible votes: every roll call in the member's chamber from the first to the last roll call on which the member is listed, inclusive. Votes cast: recorded Yea/Aye or Nay/No (impeachment Guilty / Not Guilty counted the same way, as the Senate tallies them). Present: recorded Present. Missed: recorded Not Voting. Any other response (for example a candidate's name in a Speaker election) is counted as 'other'. Party-line roll calls: a majority of voting Republicans and a majority of voting Democrats took opposite sides (yes vs. no); ties within a party mean no majority. Voted with party: on those roll calls, the member voted yes or no and matched the majority of the party shown next to their name on that roll call. Party-line votes the member did not cast yes or no on are excluded. Members listed as Independent are compared with the party whose majority they matched more often on party-line roll calls in that chamber (their de facto caucus); if exactly tied, they are excluded from the party-line measure. Delegates and the Resident Commissioner (DC, PR, AS, GU, MP, VI) may vote only on some roll calls (in the Committee of the Whole), and the Clerk lists them only on those (with state "XX"); the Clerk's roll call files carry no other marker of which votes they may cast. They are identified by that "XX" listing (which also covers delegates who have left) and by the current member list. Their eligible votes are the roll calls on which the Clerk lists them, and they are left out of the party-line measure and of the party majorities it compares against.

Each time is one Record item from the floor where GPO lists them as a speaker; many are short remarks or requests. Topics are ranked by the days they spoke on them. Written statements are Extensions of Remarks: printed, not spoken.

Amendments offered on the floor are those that came up for action (adopted, rejected, tabled, withdrawn, ruled out of order, or still pending). Filed ones never came up.

Hearing and markup counts are for the whole committee and its subcommittees, from Congress.gov's meeting records (canceled and postponed meetings left out). Congress does not publish who attended, so these counts say nothing about whether this member was there.

A discharge petition needs 218 signatures to force a vote. We count signatures still on each petition.

The office budget is the Members' Representational Allowance. Bills for 2025 keep arriving for months, so totals can still grow. House medians compare the 427 offices with a full-year budget (members seated mid-year get a smaller, prorated one).

Senate committees record most sessions where they vote on bills as business meetings, not markups, so Senate lines count hearings only.
