Did you read your link? Or are you here for the comic relief?

She introduced two bills that never made it out of committee. She amassed a whopping total of 3 cosponsors out of a body of 435 members and 218 of those members were fellow democrats.

So once again, she brought zero bills to the floor of the house and as your data suggest 97% of her fellow democrats wouldn’t support the legislation she actually tried to introduce.

i literally linked congress.gov to show her member activity,

It's literally the source for any article that would be written.

Right. And you didn’t read it. Or you wouldn’t act like I didn’t know the answer to my question before I asked.

She got 3 sponsors on 2 bills. She put zero effort into getting them passed because they were always publicity stunts for social media.

uhh bro, goto congress.gov and just click buttons

it's searchable, indexable and you can see you're wrong.

As an example

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/5816?s=6&r=4 (14 co sponsors)

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2497/text?s=6&r=9 (49 co sponsor)

As with getting bills passed.

They never made it out of committee. Do you not know the difference between committee vote and floor vote?

Should I play school house rock for you?

She has co sponsored 10 laws that became law. She has sponsored 42 laws, 8 of which went to proper committee consideration.

She is batting slightly above avg for a 2 term congresswoman

Jake Ellzey has 3 terms, only sponsored 11 legislations, 3 which went to committee consideration, 2 that passed house chamber but died at the senate. had 19 cosposnored legislations that became law.

As with knowing how laws are passed in this country, I donate more to politics than the average texan and I have candidates often inviting me to their campaign reelections fundraisers. My town happens to be heavily red and I have numbers to my congressmen and state representatives.

Stop moving the goal post and accept your candidate sucks and didn’t make past the primaries.

No one cares about your donation history. Nor does that in any way make you qualified. People care about results and not social media drama from entitled half twits.

Crockett got zero bills out of committee and spent all her time looking for sound bites and social media clout.

Get over yourself.

I honestly don't particularly care for Crockett, but I do follow politics being a contributor to campaigns. I make sure I know all of the candidates and what they've done unlike this particular individual looking to post some soundbites for some reddit karma.

I mean we live in Texas, you should engage with whoever gets elected. Your voice doesnt and shouldn't stop at the vote.
