WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) was recognized by the Center for Effective Lawmaking (CEL) for “exceeding expectations” in the 118th Congress, continuing his career-long streak and ranking among the top 10 most consistently effective members of Congress.
According to CEL, scores are “based on the combination of fifteen metrics capturing the bills that each member of Congress sponsors, how far they move through the lawmaking process, and how substantial their policy proposals are.” Lawmakers “exceed expectations” when they outperform the benchmark by 50% or more.
“I am humbled to be recognized by the Center for Effective Lawmaking (CEL) as one of the most consistently effective members of Congress. Throughout my time in Washington, I’ve prioritized building bipartisan coalitions to achieve meaningful policy wins for the people of the First Congressional District of Georgia, and the results speak for themselves,” said Rep. Carter. “There’s a lot of good work being done in D.C. that never makes headlines, and I appreciate CEL for highlighting these critical efforts.”
“Our analysis found that Representative Carter ranked as having one of the longest streaks of ‘exceeding expectations’ over consecutive congresses in the entire House. We congratulate the Representative for his hard work and setting an example for promoting the importance of effective lawmaking,” said Craig Volden and Alan Wiseman, Co-Directors of the Center for Effective Lawmaking.
