Ilhan Omar:
- Missed more than 4.4% of votes - she ranks in the top #30 of all of Congress for absenteeism.
- She introduced 42 bills - ranking #47 out of all of Congress.
- Of those 42 bills, 1 was enacted and 1 made it out of committee.
- For those bills, she managed to get a total of 497 cosponsors -that makes her rank at #123 out of all of Congress.
- And it’s not like she’s busy with other Congressional work, she isn’t on any committees.
- She did sign her John Hancock as a co-sponsor on more than 673 bills - but that still only ranks her as #55 out of all of Congress for the number of bills co-sponsored.
- And in terms of leadership (.57), She ranks #179.
When it comes to her ideology score, she ranks in the bottom dozen.
