                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 23, 2026

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, on April 22, 2026, I was present at the 
House Appropriations Committee Full Committee markup of the FY2027 
Financial Services and General Government bill. We were debating an 
amendment to authorize Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) 
recipients to work in the federal government when the vote on Ordering 
the Previous Question for H. Res. 1189 was called. This resulted in my 
absence from the House during one vote on April 22, 2026.
  Had I been present, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call No. 130, on 
Ordering the Previous Question.
