Among all Democratic lawmakers, AOC was ranked 230th out of 240 Congressional Democrats in terms of effectiveness.
Ocasio- Cortez, popularly known as AOC , introduced a total of 21 “substantive” bills that did not receive substantial backing from other lawmakers, including committee and floor votes, according to the study, a project of Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia.
“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,” Alan Wiseman, a Vanderbilt political scientist and the center’s co-director, told the New York Post.
“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,” he said . AOC was ranked No. 230 out of 240 Congressional Democrats in terms of effectiveness, the study found. Compared with others in her circle of Congressional allies, collectively known as the “Squad,” AOC was deemed less effective than Ilhan Omar, who sponsored 33 bills, and Rashida Tlaib, who had some of her bills advance to committee, with one becoming a law. Tlaib was ranked No. 92 among the 240 lawmakers.
According to the survey, the most effective lawmakers were Rep. Nita Lowey (D-Westchester, New York), who retired last year and was responsible for 29 major bills introduced in Congress, with seven of them becoming laws, and John Katko (R-Syracuse, New York), with six of his bills becoming laws.

Actually she was very effective at dragging the entire Democratic Party off to the nuthouse Left. Nancy folded like a lawn chair.
The Report does not measure AOC correctly. She may not represent her constituents well , but by another measure she is hugely successful.
I call it the “bitch in heat” metric.
She magnetizes weak minded young democrats who have been educated to think that oone measure of polityical success is “Speaking to power” and creating a huge cadre of leftist Alinsky followers .
AOC also has been successful in creating deep connections within the leftist supporting media. She there frie has become hugely successful on the Alinsky scale of political success , by destroying legislative logic, pumping up division and destroy9ng bipartisanship, dividing America by race and using a Green New Deal to destroy US economic strength , capitalism and entrepreneurship.
AOC is the enemy. You won’t destroy her by pretending she has not been successful.

I agree, and she’s about to get a $4T ‘infrastructure’ spending through bill with her fingerprints all over it. I mean, is it really necessary to double the price of beef to ‘save the planet’? But here it comes!
AOC should rely on her talents and introduce a “Happy Hour” bill...or maybe a “Topless Tuesday” bill. I could support those.

We used to call AOC and Pelosi type personalities “Seagull Managers” because they fly into a room, make a whole lot of noise, shite on everything, and leave.
Mine (the nitwit pink hat Houlahan) is 229, only one step higher than AOC! I’ll be sure to remind her of that...she blusters on FB and is covered widely in our local news...but effectively, does NOTHING but vote with Pelosi 100% of the time.
The media still loves her she’s the party’s socialist cheer leader.
She and The Squat are very active behind the screens.
She is heavily involved with BLM-Antifa and recruiting candidates to replace the DNC Old Guard.
Don’t underestimate her as she is getting millions to do this and many other things.
