15 senators, 149 reps didn’t sponsor a bill in one year — OrderPaper

The OrderPaper report highlights a notable issue in legislative productivity. In the past year, a total of 15 senators and 149 representatives have not sponsored any bills.

This statistic raises concerns about their engagement and effectiveness in the legislative process. Sponsoring bills is a crucial part of a legislator’s role, as it involves proposing new laws or amendments to existing ones.

The lack of sponsorship from such a significant number of legislators could indicate a gap in their contribution to shaping policy and addressing public needs.

This situation underscores the need for greater accandountability involvement from elected officials in advancing legislative agendas.
