Throughout my years of public service, I have championed openness and transparency in government because I believe that the American people are in charge of our government and have a right to know what their government is doing.
One of my most important duties as a United States Senator is to represent Texans when I vote on issues considered by the full Senate. I encourage you to examine my record and share your thoughts on issues that are important to you. Your input will help me to better represent our Great State in the United States Senate.
There are a number of ways to examine my record, and that of the Senate as a whole:
For a record of my votes during the current session of Congress, click here.
For listings of legislation that I have sponsored or cosponsored - click here.

The Library of Congress maintains a comprehensive summary of all legislation. This service, known as "Thomas" includes the summary, status, and full text of all pending legislation and public laws. It is named in honor of Thomas Jefferson, who helped reconstruct the Library of Congress by selling most of his extensive personal library after the original was burned during the War of 1812 which nearly doubled the size of the original collection.
I always encourage constituents to follow Congress on C–Span and in the news.
