Data Driven Insights. Share Share Share Share. Only Democratic and Republican Members of Congress who cosponsored more than 10 bills and resolutions are included in this statistic. The number of bills each legislator introduced that became law in , including via incorporation into other bills.
Keep in mind that it takes a law to repeal a law. Very few bills ever become law. The legislator must be the primary sponsor of the bill or joint resolution that was enacted or the primary sponsor of a bill or joint resolution for which at least about one third of its text was incorporated into another bill or joint resolution that was enacted as law, as determined by an automated analysis.
While a legislator may lay claim to authoring other bills that became law, these cases are difficult for us to track quantitatively. Our unique leadership analysis looks at who is cosponsoring whose bills. A higher score shows a greater ability to get cosponsors on bills.
A leadership score is not computed for Members of Congress who introduced fewer than 10 bills, as there is usually not enough data in these cases to compute reliable statistics. Note that because on this page only legislative activity in is considered, the leadership scores here may differ from those elsewhere on GovTrack.

This is the number of bills introduced by each legislator in that had a companion bill in the other chamber. Working with a sponsor in the other chamber makes a bill more likely to be passed by both the House and Senate. This is the number of bills introduced by each legislator in which had both a Democratic cosponsor and a Republican cosponsor.
