Rep. John Curtis and Sen. Mike Lee were named among the 'most effective' lawmakers, according to research by Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia.
— a collaboration by the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt University — releases regular scorecards on all members of Congress, based on several metrics including the number of bills sponsored, how far each bill makes it through the legislative process and how "substantial their policy proposals are."
Lee and Curtis, both Republicans from Utah, ranked among the top 10 in their respective caucuses during the 117th Congress, which ended Jan. 3. Lee ranked eighth among Senate Republicans with a score of 1.249 and Curtis was ninth in the House GOP with a score of 1.613. Lee and Curtis are each considered to be exceeding expectations, meaning their scores are at least 50% better than the benchmark score, which is based on party affiliation, chamber and leadership or committee positions. Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, is the only other member of Utah's delegation to be exceeding expectations, with a score of 1.105 and a benchmark of 0.558.
