119th Congress · before filters: 364 recorded entries · 0 labeled “not voting”.
Recorded “not voting” accounts for 0.0% of this member’s 364 recorded entries in the 119th Congress. Review “not voting” entries.
Counts and this share cover the selected Congress before all filters. The share is “not voting” entries divided by recorded entries, rounded to one decimal place. This is not an attendance rate: missing entries are not counted, and voting eligibility varies by office and service period. “Not voting” is the source’s label; it gives no reason for nonparticipation. Recorded entries also include yes/no, present and named choices.

Official recorded floor roll calls in the selected Congress. Voice votes, unanimous consent and committee votes are excluded. Only entries explicitly listing this member are included; missing entries are not missed votes. Retrieval dates describe source inventory checks; individual roll-call records may be retained from earlier captures.
Delegates and the resident commissioner do not vote on final House floor passage. A member who had not yet taken office, had left office, or was not eligible is not assigned a missed vote. Zero entries can reflect no eligible service.

Campaign summary through Jul 17, 2026
Totals are reported FEC figures. Receipts include more than donations. Transfers between authorized committees can inflate combined receipts and disbursements; transfers are shown separately and no adjustment is silently applied.
Explore individual contributions & outside spending ↓
Campaign contributions and spending by other groups answer different questions. Outside spending below is never added to campaign receipts. All categories cover dated 2025–2026 records available at retrieval.
Zero covered records means no matching records in these sources, not proof of no activity. These are record counts, not donor counts.
No covered records; no spending total established.
Subtotals sum covered non-memo records, including signed corrections. Rapid notices and electioneering disclosures have no aggregate because they can overlap other records or mention multiple candidates. Spending supporting this person is distinct from spending opposing an opponent, which appears on the opponent’s profile when covered.
Reported spending expressly supporting or opposing this candidate, without coordination. These records include committee and noncommittee filers. Covered subtotals exclude memo records and rapid notices; they are not campaign receipts. Filings can lag spending and be amended.
