Howard's Voting Record Resources

The Clerk of the House of Representatives maintains a list of votes for each motion and legislation that is voted on by the full House. These are called "roll call votes."

Easy Guide to the Clerk's Roll Call Votes Database
Simply follow the easy steps listed below to look up a vote cast by Congressman Berman or any other member. Note: You may want to read all of the steps before clicking on the appropriate links. (For more detail, visit the Library of Congress’s Explanation of Roll Call Votes.)

Step 1

Visit the Clerk's Roll Call Vote webpage. The far left column labed "Roll" will give you the number of the roll call vote. Moving to the column on the right, you see the date the vote was cast. The “Issue” links to detailed information about the measure under consideration. "Question" tells you if the vote was on final passage, on an amendment, or as otherwise noted. The "Result" is the outcome: P=passed, F=failed, and A=the amendment was agreed to. The last column tells you the title/descritpion of the measure. All votes are posted in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top).

Step 2
Click on the appropriate "Roll" number on the same row as the title/description that you are interested in. If it is an older vote that you are interested in (must be in the same year), move to the bottom of the screen and you will encounter a similar image as seen on the left. Simply click on a previous set of roll call votes.

Step 3
After clicking on the appropriate roll, you will be taken to this page. Scoll down to see how Congressman Berman voted on this measure.
