The Virginia Mercury guide, reviewed October 12, describes Staten's insurance coverage, billing transparency, transportation and workforce priorities. This replaces the earlier bounded no-position finding; the September access history remains visible. October 12 is the review date, not an assigned statement date.

Named in this record: Geral D. "Bishop" Staten
From the October 8 Debate for the State. Treg Taylor's claims to have defended the Willow project and parents' school choice, and to have chaired the Attorney General Alliance, match the record. His claims on beating vaccine mandates and getting over $100 million in opioid money match in direction: the health care worker mandate went ahead, and the opioid money is paid over many years. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins's bycatch claim matches in direction: we found a 2013 committee resolution he backed and a 2015 letter he signed.
Named in this record: Treg Taylor, Jonathan S. "JKT" Kreiss-Tomkins
In the October 8 Iowa PBS debate, Lindsay James confirmed she voted for the steel plant incentive bill. The House Journal lists her among the 75 ayes on House File 2801, passed October 2 in a one-day special session and signed that day.

From the October 6 WGME and October 8 WMTW debates. Susan Collins's votes on the Iran war, the Canada tariffs and three Supreme Court justices match what she said, as do her claims on the 2004 intelligence law and a bill to write Roe into law. Her claims on the rural health fund, generic drugs, ICE body cameras and lobster rules match in direction. Troy Jackson's claims on the northern Maine transmission line, 2023 heating relief and the 2019 solar law match the record; his offshore wind and MaineCare claims match in direction.

Official activity
How the House voted, with direct links to the official House records.
Our method
01
Official votes, filings, transcripts, and first-party statements come before summaries or commentary.
02
A statement stays with its source, and with its date, venue and surrounding words when the source gives them.
03
A vote can involve compromises and procedural effects. We explain those limits instead of flattening every vote into a slogan.
04
Material corrections are dated and attached to the affected record.
05
Every candidate in a race gets the same fields, the same label list, and the same limits. Where the evidence is missing, the page says so instead of filling the gap.
