4,233 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Spending & Budget. 2,513 of them counted toward the score above: 1,613 toward “Fiscal expansion” and 900 toward “Fiscal restraint”.

The other 1,720 did not count: 1,614 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 106 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.
