What Lawrence put their name to
No sponsored or cosponsored measures on file for this Congress yet — every measure is synced nightly from govinfo.
What Lawrence says on the floor
3 passages in the Congressional Record, from the chamber's own transcript. Where a passage names a measure and the member voted on it within 45 days, the words and the vote sit together.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendments,
26 and 27, to H.R. 1. The Postal Service has been an essential service
for the American people for centuries, written into our Constitution.
And as we take steps to expand voting by mail, we must ensure that the
Postal Service is not weaponized to restrict its m…
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues; and to all who are
listening, my entire life, I had John Dingell's name as Congressman
John Dingell in my atmosphere, growing up in Detroit, knowing about his
work and his tireless defending of people.
John Dingell served in Congress with dedication and an earnest sense
of duty …
Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak against H.R. 6311.
This bill does no favor for the average working American. This is yet
another bill to sabotage the Affordable Care Act and make healthcare
more expensive for those who need it the most.
Expanding these health savings accounts, which are simply investment
accounts, …
What Lawrence trades
No STOCK Act transaction reports on file for this member (House filings only so far).
How this is assembled
Roll calls come from the Senate's LIS XML (senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes) and the House Clerk's EVS XML (clerk.house.gov/evs), fetched nightly and never edited.
The party line on a roll call is the majority among that party's yea and nay votes. Party unity is the share of this member's yea/nay votes that matched it; a break is a vote that did not. Votes of “present” and absences count toward attendance only.
Members are identified by Biographical Directory (bioguide) id; senators' LIS ids are mapped through the unitedstates/congress-legislators roster.
Floor speeches come from the Congressional Record (govinfo), split at the speaker lines the Record prints and matched to the member by surname, chamber and state; a passage that names a measure the member later voted on is paired with that vote. Trades are the member's own STOCK Act periodic transaction reports — House filings parsed from the Clerk's PDFs, Senate filings from the Senate's electronic disclosure system. A trade is flagged when its company's sector is one a committee the member sits on oversees, when the member cast a yea or nay on a measure in that sector within thirty days of the trade, or when PACs in that sector gave the member $10,000 or more in a cycle. Sectors for companies come from the SEC's company list and SIC codes; measures' policy areas from the Library of Congress via govinfo.
Funding is the member's principal campaign committee as filed with the FEC: receipt totals from the committee's summary, every contribution from another political committee (Form 3, line 11C), and the FEC's own roll-up of individual money by employer. Sectors are assigned by a fixed, published list of name patterns, and the rule that fired is stored with each row.
A break with the party is a fact of the record, not a verdict. Procedural votes, amendments and motions to recommit are all in here; what a given break means is a question for the measure it was on, which is one click away.
