KING: AN INEFFECTIVE MEMBER OF CONGRESS
Steve King has been in Congress since 2003, and has yet to pass a single significant bill – despite having party control of the White House and for many years the Congress. One of the two resolutions King got passed was recognizing the importance of Christmas. Here is a look at the record:
SUMMARY OF KING-SPONSORED LEGISLATION
Bills sponsored: 33
Bills passed: 0
Resolutions sponsored: 11
Resolutions passed: 2
Amendments sponsored: 45
Amendments passed: 23
Sioux City Journal: How Effective is Steve King?
The Sioux City Journal, the largest newspaper in King's 5th District, published a prominent story in their Sunday, June 29 2008 edition that questioned just how effective Steve King is as our congressman. Apparently, not very.
From the Sioux City Journal:
But just how effective has King been since he was first elected in 2002?
Political opponents point to King's relative lack of success passing sponsored legislation and decry what they call embarrassing behavior. Of the 44 bills King has sponsored according to www.GovTrack.us, three have made it out of committee and only one has been acted. The piece of legislation? House Resolution 847: Recognizing the importance of Christmas the Christian faith.
