Bacon Named One of the Top Effective Legislators

Omaha, Nebr. -  Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02) was named one of the top effective legislators for the 118^th Congress, by the Center for EffectiveLawmaking (CEL). The report, linked here, lists the top ten for each party and how they arrived at their conclusions.

CEL said: “Our analysis found that Representative Bacon ranked as one of the most effective Republican House Members in the last Congress. In addition, he ranked as the most effective Representative in terms of having their sponsored standalone bills substantially incorporated into the laws of other members of Congress. We congratulate the Representative for his hard work and setting an example for promoting the importance of effective lawmaking.”

“This report shows we can work on a bipartisan level to get meaningful legislation passed, even if we don’t follow the traditional method of introducing stand-alone bills,” said Bacon. “My intent is to get good legislation passed and sometimes you give up the grandeur of your name on a bill to get something meaningful done.”

Bacon was ranked second in the Republican Party for effectiveness, scoring high in defense, Native Americans, banking and commerce, and law, crime and family issue areas. https://thelawmakers.org/find-representatives
