What these lines mean
These lines come from this official’s entry in the Congressional Directory, which Congress publishes. Each member’s office supplies or approves its entry. We save our own copy and sort each part of the entry by fixed rules. No AI is used.
Previous profession lists the work the entry names outside public office, in the Directory’s own words. Public office here means an elected or appointed position, staff work for an elected official or a legislature, and party or campaign work.
Lifelong politician means: Congress’s biography lists no occupation outside public office. It also means the entry lists no military service. A person on our side confirms these words before they appear.
Years in public office counts elected and appointed positions only. Staff work and party work are left out. Each year counts once.
The saved record holds 845 recorded votes by Terri A. Sewell, from 2011 to 2026.

After No Response, Reps. Sewell and Davis Blast Treasury on Growing Delayed Refund Crisis
“In March of 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14247, mandating electronic payments of tax refunds. Last year, the National Taxpayer Advocate reported that over 10 million individual taxpayers received their refunds by paper check and may be unbanked, have impairments, or face systemic or geographic challenges that make providing electronic deposit information difficult.”

Rep. Sewell Calls on DHS to Reverse Policy Threatening Health Care Workforce
“Especially as providers are facing rising costs due to the Big Ugly Law’s (P.L. 119-21) cuts to Medicaid and the expiration of the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits, our health care providers cannot afford these additional fees. These visa fees will be especially burdensome for providers in rural and underserved areas, which are already under threat of closure”

Read from the lists Congress printed for 4 laws. An item requested by several members appears under each of them, so sums across members count such an item more than once. A list the Congressional Record printed on two days is counted once, from the later printing. A requester is tied to a member only when exactly one member serving in that chamber on that day has the printed name.
