2,255 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Spending & Budget. 1,275 of them counted toward the score above: 890 toward “Fiscal expansion” and 385 toward “Fiscal restraint”.

The other 980 did not count: 940 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 40 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.
