Not sure how to properly update this page, but here are some notes:

- Duncan Hunter from California resigned and is no longer a congressman.

- John Rose from Tennesee is listed twice.

- Richard Hudson from North Carolina's 8th district is not listed.

- Vern Buchanan from Florida is not listed.

- Bill Johnson from Ohio is not listed.

I've corrected the oversights. Thanks! —Morning star (talk) 15:50, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Using eg. project smart vote biografies, loads of these "non-specified protestants" have more specified affliations. e.g. Morgan Griffith of Virginia is Episcopalian. Some churches, especialley Evangelical Covenant Church and United Church of Christ have handfull members in congress, not reported in this data. 194.111.70.134 (talk) 10:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wondering if non-voting members of the United States House of Representatives should be added?

Joe Neguse

edit

I am wondering if Rep. Neguse is an Orthodox Christian, given his notable role as the first Eritrean-American member of Congress. On this article, he is listed as an unspecified Protestant, but there is no source for the claim. Do we have any sources describing Rep. Neguse's affiliation? 2601:184:4780:3130:709D:B5D0:276:F6ED (talk) 18:02, 10 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Joe Neguse is labeled as a "Unspecified Protestant" in the Pew poll (for the 116th Congress);[1] as a "Protestant" in a Vote Smart profile;[2] and as just a "Christian" in this NCTM profile.[3] I couldn't find any connection to Eritrean Orthodoxy.—Morning star (talk) 14:09, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the quick answer. Seems that the data on the main article are correct then, at least as far as well can tell. 2601:184:4780:3130:CCBC:1946:77BD:B68D (talk) 21:13, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Rep. Mayra Flores is Roman Catholic.

edit

Flores belongs to the Roman Catholic faith.[1]


Reliable non-partisan sources (which analyze data rather than writing op-eds) state that Mayra Flores is a Roman Catholic.


LegiStorm was launched in 2006, originally as a searchable database of congressional staff salaries. It has since expanded to include a range of financial data about legislators and government employees. The site collects staff salaries, trips paid for by private institutions, financial disclosure forms, foreign gifts and earmarks for Congress members and key staff. It also indexes policy reports, congressional schedules, FEC press releases and political news. [[4]] Solidarityandfreedom (talk) 22:04, 12 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

You have to log in to see it. Log in to LegiStorm or alternatively just search/Google “legistorm mayra flores” into search bar and click on it, it should show it then without log in required.

Jews and Denominations

edit

Every other religious group has sub-denominations listed, even if a sub-denomination like Eastern Catholicism only has one Member in the House. However, except for the Judaically disputed movement of "Messianic Judaism," the Jewish members of the House are just listed as "Jewish," not accounting (even in the notes), for the variety of ways (for example Orthodox Judaism, Reform Judaism, and Conservative Judaism) which Members may express their Jewish identities. Should the "Jewish" section of the article, like other faiths here, have more specific subcategories? Joesom333 (talk) 00:11, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
