\nRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)<\/p>\n
Surprised? I was. Not that she’s ineffective, but that even academia recognizes AOC as “All hat and no cattle.” Poetrooper sends.<\/p>\n
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s bills received no action in committees and no floor votes<\/em><\/p>\n By Jon Levine<\/strong><\/p>\n She\u2019s the queen of Twitter \u2014 but less successful at lawmaking.<\/p>\n Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was among the least effective members of the last Congress, according to a new survey from the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking \u2014 a joint project of Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia.<\/p>\n Ocasio-Cortez introduced a total of 21 bills that the center defined as “substantive” \u2014 but that is where the story ends. Her legislation received no action in committees, no floor votes, and none ever became law, according to the center, which takes its data from Congress.gov.<\/p>\n “She introduced a lot of bills, but she was not successful at having them receive any sort of action in committee or beyond committee and if they can\u2019t get through committee they cannot pass the House,” Alan Wiseman, a Vanderbilt political scientist and co-director of the center, told The Post.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s clear that she was trying to get her legislative agenda moving and engage with the lawmaking process,” Wiseman added. “But she wasn\u2019t as successful as some other members were \u2014 even among [other] freshmen \u2014 at getting people to pay attention to her legislation.”<\/p>\n When looking at the legislative effectiveness of all congressional Democrats, AOC was ranked 230th out of 240 Democrats. Among the 19 Democratic lawmakers from New York, she ranked last.<\/p>\n Among the bills that died at birth were a federal overhaul of public housing, a ban on fracking and a mandate to provide full federal public benefits to illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n Democratic House insiders said many of Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s colleagues found her approach alienating.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n She hasn’t done herself any favors, bucking the system that belongs to Nancy Pelosi. Tellingly, the rest of “The Squad” fared little better. Simple really- adults understand consensus. Read the entire article here: Fox News<\/a>.
