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 service is held from the 107th Congress
onwards, dated from the House and Senate resolutions and Congressional Record
notices that seat and remove members. Subcommittee assignments are made inside each
committee and carry no official date, so a subcommittee seat is shown from the first
to the last printed hearing, Congressional Directory edition or official roster that
lists the member.
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.
