About these records

This combines the candidate's complete configured legislative archives: Florida Senate final bound journals and Florida House final bound journals and United States House roll calls. Every entry preserves its chamber, stable member identity, exact evidence, and direct official source. It never infers a position from attendance, silence, sponsorship, a voice vote, or an omitted name.

Procedural votes, amendments, nominations, resolutions, final-passage votes, executive actions, and official statements remain separately labeled. A statement or department announcement is not converted into a legislative vote or proof that the officeholder personally performed the underlying work.

Archive status: Partial capture—missing records remain excluded from completeness claims

Public record at a glance

What this archive contains

These are descriptive counts from captured official records, not an ideology, effectiveness, or intent score. Subject labels are navigation aids assigned from official measure text. A vote does not establish why the candidate voted that way or support for every provision in a measure.
