      For starters, she’s smart, young, and competent. That already makes her a stand out in the political arena. She represents her constituency with integrity and voracity. And Furthermore, she’s not bought and paid for.

      The GOP hates all of those things about her.

      what bills has she sponsored that have passed?

      The fact that this is your metric for political acumen throughout this post 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.
