                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, last week Tuesday, I tested positive for 
COVID-19 during weekly surveillance testing. As per the CDC's guidance, 
I left the Capitol and began a period of isolation.
  As a result of that isolation, I missed a number of votes. I take 
seriously my duties in service to the people of Pennsylvania, including 
voting on policies and nominations. Accordingly, I wish for the record 
to show that, had I not been absent due to a COVID infection, I would 
have voted yea on the following votes: yea on vote No. 98, on the 
confirmation on the nomination of Ruth Bermudez Montenegro, of 
California, to be U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of 
California; yea on vote No. 99, on the confirmation on the nomination 
of Victoria Marie Calvert, of Georgia, to be U.S. District Judge for 
the Northern District of Georgia; yea on vote No. 100, on the motion to 
proceed to H.R. 4521; yea on vote No. 101, on the confirmation on the 
nomination of Julie Rebecca Rubin, of Maryland, to be U.S. District 
Judge for the District of Maryland; yea on vote No. 102, on the 
confirmation on the nomination of Hector Gonzalez, of New York, to be 
U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of New York; yea on vote 
No. 103, on the confirmation on the nomination of John H. Chun, of 
Washington, to be U.S. District Judge for the Western District of 
Washington; yea on vote No. 104, on the confirmation on the nomination 
of Cristina D. Silva, of Nevada, to be U.S. District Judge for the 
District of Nevada; yea on vote No. 105, on the confirmation on the 
nomination of Anne Rachel Traum, of Nevada, to be U.S. District Judge 
for the District of Nevada; yea on vote No. 106, on the confirmation on 
the nomination of Alison J. Nathan, of New York, to be U.S. Circuit 
Judge for the Second Circuit; and yea on vote No. 107, on the 
confirmation on the nomination of Andrew M. Luger, of Minnesota, to be 
U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota.
  I am grateful to have only experienced mild symptoms of the virus as 
a result of being fully vaccinated and boosted. I encourage anyone who 
has yet to be vaccinated to do so and to get boosted if they are 
eligible.
