Ami Bera: batting .000

August 13, 2015

Here’s your number for the day: 0%. That’s Ami Bera’s effectiveness ranking, according to a new study by InsideGov that looked at how many bills Bera has had passed out committee since being elected. Bera’s dismal 0% ranking puts him at the bottom of the Congressional class and earns him the dubious honor as one of the least effective members of Congress.zero

So what do you do when you’ve accomplished nothing as a member of Congress? Maybe you run hypocritical campaign ads and subsequently get called out by the LA Times for it. Or perhaps your lack of a political center causes you to copy White House talking points in an op-ed you publish as your own. Or you even copy Nancy Pelosi’s words in another column. It’s clear Ami Bera has done little more than talk since getting elected, and he’s even run into trouble with that.

“After doing little more than talking since getting elected, Ami Bera has now officially been declared one of the least effective member of Congress. Sacramento families deserve someone who will get things done, not collect their taxpayer funded salary while spending all their time trying to pretend they’ve accomplished something.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
