WHO: Michael
Honda, representative for California's 17 congressional district (democrat)
COMMITTEE:
House Foreign Affairs

House Foreign Affairs
House Judiciary
- Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations
STATUS:
Reported by the committee but not yet passed by the House or Senate.
Michael Honda
is the 4th most progressive among all representatives by
cosponsorship. Honda has cosponsored 537
bills created by other members of congress. In 2015 he introduced 34 bills to
congress. Also, 7 of those bills that were cosponsored by a chair or person of
the committee the bill was referred to. Honda is also very willing to work with
the senate. Through my research on Michael Honda, it seems that he has a very
high ranking within the house.
Some things that surprised me were things like how people always talk about congress not getting anywhere with bills when it seems like a lot of the congressman no matter what party for the most part get along.
A question I have is: How do congressman of the democratic party react when a republican has a good idea that actually helps both sides?
