123 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Education. 58 of them counted toward the score above: 20 toward “Expand federal role” and 38 toward “Reduce federal role”.

The other 65 did not count: 62 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 3 were ones they did not cast a yea or nay on. They are listed below anyway, marked as not scored, because a filtered list of votes is not a voting record.
