5,840 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Spending & Budget. 3,498 of them counted toward the score above: 1,710 toward “Fiscal expansion” and 1,788 toward “Fiscal restraint”.

The other 2,342 did not count: 2,317 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 25 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.
