Combined legislative roll-call positions

Ben Ray Luján public records

10,479 captured recordsJanuary 6, 2009–August 8, 2026

About these records

This combines the candidate's complete configured legislative archives: United States Senate roll calls 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

Evidence provenance: 7974 records currently retain directly captured Senate text; 2505 historical records use identity-matched Voteview bulk fields reconciled to official Senate clerk numbers. The direct collector replaces those rows over time.
