Our nation's rail network plays a critical role in moving freight and supporting American businesses. I'm proud to have worked with @RJCormanRR to secure federal funding to modernize rail lines, create more reliable service, and build stronger connections to the national freight network across North Carolina and the Southeast region.

Today, we remember the innocent civilians brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists three years ago, an attack the impact of which will be felt for generations. America must never waver in supporting Israel's right to defend itself and the Jewish people from terrorism, and we must stand firmly against antisemitism.

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Republican majority” counts every issue vote on which most Republicans voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Republicans and most Democrats voted one way and this member the other. “With the Democratic majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Democrats. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
