Anyone watching the news over the past several years has become familiar with Ohio’s US Representative, Jim Jordan.
Jim Jordan was complicit in Donald Trump’s initiative to overturn the 2020 election. He obstructed justice and continued to lie about the failed insurrection. He is democracy’s enemy planted as a Trump cog.
To be fair, he says what he does: “Jordan has been an advocate of the taxpayer, looking for waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. He serves as the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and serves on the House Oversight Committee.” (His website)
"What has he accomplished?
His Legislative Record
Jordan has sponsored 825 bills and resolutions since 2011 (when Bill Track 50 began tracking legislation). But if you narrow down to the bills where he was the primary sponsor, you're left with 16. They are set out on this stakeholder page. Interestingly, not a single one of them has passed and become law. There are some broad categories of topics. Several aim to protect second amendment rights, there are some intents on reducing federal spending and taxation and a few more defending the right to free speech. HR408 - the Spending Reduction Act of 2011, sought to slash federal spending by $2.5 trillion. It never made it out of committee. In 2013, he introduced the Life at Conception Act, which again died in committee. Other notable failures include the Welfare Reform Act of 2014 (which sought to, among other things, link food stamps to a 'healthy marriage' and restrict funding for health benefits coverage that includes abortion) and The Second Amendment Enforcement Act of 2015."
