132 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Climate & Energy. 47 of them counted toward the score above: 39 toward “Climate action” and 8 toward “Fossil fuel priority”.

The other 85 did not count: 79 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 6 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.
