Processed by Stripe in a separate window. LegiList never sees card details.
Party, state and chamber are those of this member's most recent term.
Bills and cosponsorships are held from the 107th Congress
onwards and recorded votes from the 101st, so a member
who served before those points will show fewer than they filed, or none.
Committee seats are held for the current Congress only, which is why they
are shown for sitting members and left out for everyone else rather than
reported as zero. Vote counts cover roll calls tied to a bill; the chambers
also vote on procedure and nominations, which are not listed here.
Office, telephone and website are not shown for a member who has left,
because the ones on file were theirs while serving.
Records come from
Congress.gov and the
Biographical Directory of Congress.
