A new study has found that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic lawmaker in Congress and a young face in the party, has not been an effective politician in the legislature, based on a survey from the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking.
A project of Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia, Cortez, popularly known as AOC, introduced a total of 21 bills categorized as “substantive” in the study, but which did not receive substantial backing from other lawmakers, including committee and floor votes.
Alan Wiseman, a Vanderbilt political scientist and center co-director, spoke to the New York Postregarding her inability to promote her legislative goals.
“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’t get through committee they cannot pass the House,” Wiseman said.
“It’s clear that she was trying to get her legislative agenda moving and engage with the lawmaking process, but she wasn’t as successful as some other members were — even among [other] freshmen — at getting people to pay attention to her legislation,” Wiseman added.
Among all Democratic lawmakers, AOCwas ranked 230th out of 240 Congressional Democrats in terms of effectiveness.
In comparison to others in her circle of Congressional allies, collectively called the “Squad,” AOC was deemed less effective than Ilhan Omar, who sponsored 33 bills, and Rashida Tlaib, with some of her bills advancing to committee and one becoming law. The latter ranked 92nd among the 240 lawmakers.
The most effective Democratic and Republican lawmakers, according to the survey, were Westchester Rep. Nita Lowey, who retired last year and was responsible for 29 major bills introduced to Congress, with seven of them ultimately becoming law, as well as John Katko of Syracuse, with six of his bills becoming important laws.

“Among all Democratic lawmakers, AOCwas ranked 230th out of 240 Congressional Democrats in terms of effectiveness”. The problem is AOC’s big mouth carries weight, with regard to all of the radical agenda that Biden passes by executive order and her big mouth carries weight with other Democrat communists in the House and Senate passing bills.
SO THEY needed a study to tell us this?
I wonder who funds the “Center for Effective Lawmaking”… and how much of it launders it’s way into the communist occupier democrats coffer.
The left of course, and i’d say 75% or more, finds its way into their pockets..
the only thing she has going for her is her body. She looks great but she isn’t very smart.
She is to busy on Social Media platforms spitting out diarrhea of her Socialist Bull **** agendas form her twisted radical mind. Everything but real solutions to the country’s problems.
racist twit.
Anybody surprised by that? Tell her to go down to the border NOW and fake cry Have her stay overnight along side the ILLEGALS or have HER help pay for some of them. She will really cry if she has to live amongst them.
I wonder, how much money was WASTED on this, which just told us WHAT WE ALL Already knew!
This is what angers me about the GOP. This girl, no matter how stupid, is an icon that needs to be respected. Plutarch said that an educated idiot is far more dangerous than an uneducated one. This girl is an educated idiot.
Thank you. I love all of the low IQ members of the Democrat party. I love to see them plastered in front of the camera making a total fool of themselves. We need more like AOC, Feinstein and JacksonLee. They are great at swaying those in the middle our way.
An icon that needs to be respected?? ARE YOU kidding!?!?
So then a brain-dead bartender from the Bronx is an ineffective lawmaker ?!?
Who would have ever thought that would be the case.
In reality, AOC is an actor chosen to play the part of a member of Congress for some globalist. They tell her what to say and do but often she goes ‘off-script’ showing the kind of dunce she really is. She was set up to ‘win’ in a poor district with ultra-low voter turnout so it was easy to have her ‘win’.
If the only thing you can do is to be an idiot, be the best idiot you can be . . . and here she is!
Did they really waste time, money to prove what we already know? She’s not the only one.
YES< just like they wasted our money and time, to study how fast a water horse or shrimp can run on a tredmill etc..
Don’t need a study for that AOC proves it time and time again ! She is completely stupid that all !
Surprise, Surprise!! Ranked # 230 of 240! Practically NO support on her 21 bills! The reason is because all of her colleagues know she is a google eyed dumb bunny!
