The site Capitol Words tracks how often certain words are said in Congress.

Looking at Kentucky’s delegation, the most commonly used word is Kentucky and the most talkative member is Senator Mitch McConnell. That makes sense. McConnell is the minority leader and a few random glances at other states’ stats found a similar trend in words said.

Here’s the list of most-to-least talkative.

  1. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
  2. Harold Rogers (R-KY-5)
  3. James Bunning (R-KY)
  4. Geoff Davis (R-KY-4)
  5. John Yarmuth (D-KY-3)
  6. Ed Whitfield (R-KY-1)
  7. Brett Guthrie (R-KY-2)
  8. Ben Chandler (D-KY-6)
  9. Ron Lewis (R-KY-2)
