        She’s smart, young, and competent. That alone makes her a standout in the political arena.

        The fact that your only metric throughout this whole post is ‘what bills has she passed’ is frighteningly weird

        Bills that she has sponsored or co-sponsored, including ones that have passed

        The site is a great place to start if you want to find out what a congressperson has actually done. It doesn’t paint the whole picture as committee work is pretty important too and isn’t always represented by a specific bill, but still useful.

        In my opinion, she has one huge thing going for her and it’s the fact that she doesn’t belong in a retirement home. We need more young people in Congress, regardless of their party affiliation.

        That is another problem with our gerontocracy. Important committee assignments are doled out based on seniority, not aptitude or merit. She could do more, as could people like Porter or Frost, but they are sidelined by the fucking party.
