Every vote.
With its receipt.

Where this data comes from—and what it does not tell you

Every individual entry in House roll calls 3 (January 3, 2025: ordering the previous question on H.Res. 5) and 6 (January 7, 2025: passage of H.R. 29), including non-votes. This is a two-vote collection, not all congressional activity. Clerk display labels are retained unless a dated full-name record was supplied. The H.R. 29 House-passed text is certified; the H.Res. 5 later engrossed text is context only for its procedural vote.

Votes come from official roll calls; text and statements come from GovInfo. A vote on an entire bill is not a separate vote on each clause. Search matches can also come from contextual versions that were not the version put to the vote.

Map dots group receipts by the member’s state at the time, not where the vote occurred. Empty states mean no records in this sample, not no activity. Connections identify shared people and measures, not agreement or causation.

Published 2026-09-16 · This is a dated snapshot, not a live congressional feed.

434 receipts have an established text-version binding. Other receipts remain explicitly unresolved. A House engrossed-text binding requires the matching measure, a successful passage vote, and House certification on the same date.
