Their discussion was moderated by Craig Volden, professor of public policy and politics at Batten and the co-director of the Center for Effective Lawmaking.</p> <p>In a candid and insightful conversation, both retired delegates shed light on how lawmakers, especially those in leadership positions, think and what can be done to promote effective lawmaking in Virginia. </p> <p>“Pizza is important in legislatures,” Toscano told the crowd of students, many eating pizza that the school provides during the mid-day Batten Hour events. “Eating pizza was a way people got to know each other and break down some of the partisanship.” Bridging the divide between Democrats and Republicans is crucial for any legislature to function, and both agreed that the gap has only grown wider in recent decades. </p> <p>Howell, who was a member of the General Assembly from 1988 and its speaker from 2003 to 2018, spoke to growing political dysfunction and polarization. “We used to talk about the Virginia Way and say, ‘We’re not like those people up in Washington. We get stuff done, and we work together.’ I’m not so sure I can say that anymore.”</p> <p>Toscano, a Charlottesville Democrat who served as minority leader of the Virginia House of Delegates from 2011 to 2018, reflected on how an evolving news and social media landscape has contributed to political polarization. </p> <p>“The media participation down in Richmond and at [state] houses all over the country has declined so dramatically,” Tascano emphasized. “When I first came in, there would be 10 or 12 reporters on the back row every single day, from Virginia Beach, from Charlottesville, from Richmond, Northern Virginia and Washington. It’s not like that anymore. Traditional media has fallen away. People look for their news by going to national outlets. What that’s doing is nationalizing the politics within these state houses, and it's happening all over the country.”</p> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'filter_caption' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/filter-caption.html.twig' --> <figure class="figure"><img alt="Craig Volden, David Toscano, Bill Howell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="10415178-350f-46d4-82ba-4324edda4c93" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Toscano%20Howell%201.png" class="figure-img img-fluid" width="1200" height="800" loading="lazy" /><figcaption class="figure-caption">Batten's Craig Volden (left) interviews David Toscano and Bill Howell.</figcaption></figure><!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/filter-caption.html.twig' --><p>Howell added how this has changed the way people communicate with lawmakers. As a freshman in the assembly, his office would get maybe 8 to 10 letters a week from constituents. By the time he left office five years ago, that number had surged to 80 emails a day, not only from Virginians in his district but from individuals across the nation.</p> <p>Building on Howell's observations, Toscano underscored another factor contributing to the rise in polarization: demographic shifts within the state legislature. “It’s difficult to try to figure out what the culture is now in the Virginia General Assembly, because there's so much turnover. I think 50% of all of the members now have less than four years experience.”</p> <p>Both commented on one of the most distinctive aspects of Virginia's government – its term structure for governors. Unlike in many other states, Virginia bars its governors from serving consecutive terms, a tradition dating back to the state's second constitution, ratified in 1830.</p> <p>“You learn in third grade civics there are three co-equal branches of government: legislative, executive and judicial. It's not true,” Toscano quipped. “The legislature is the preeminent.” In his view, proposed legislative reform creating a two-year, two-term governorships would enhance accountability, especially since legislation can take so long to get passed. </p> <p>Howell disagreed. “The governor of Virginia has a lot of power. He can make line-item vetoes, he can put bills in any time he wants to. Plus, he's got the bully pulpit.” In his view, lawmakers remain too hesitant to change the tradition. “If the governor had additional time he could do a lot of damage. I don't know if that's fair or not, but it's my opinion. I'm sticking with it.”</p> <p>Professor Volden ended the panel by asking for any words of advice for Batten’s students—budding leaders, policy scholars and advocates. </p> <p>The former Speaker of the House encouraged them to recall the famous admonition of Benjamin Franklin, who, upon leaving the Constitutional Convention, reportedly shared a memorable exchange with an elderly woman. When she inquired about the form of government they had created, Franklin replied, “We have a republic, madam, if you can keep it.”</p> <p>“That's your challenge as the next generation, ‘if you can keep it,’ Howell said. “So, get in the game.”<br />  </p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 cta-wrapper"> </div> </div>

Researchers with the Center for Effective Lawmaking – a joint project of the Batten School and Vanderbilt University – have published a <a href="https://thelawmakers.org/legislative-research/expertise-acquisition-in-congress">working paper</a> examining the causes and effects of how staffers expand their skills and knowledge. </p> <p>They found that staff whose jobs are less secure — due to their bosses being electorally vulnerable — are less likely to apply for and attend training sessions.</p> <p>Much of the training provided for staffers is specific to their current jobs but not especially helpful for advancing their careers outside of Congress. If training programs were designed to increase their human capital more generally, the researchers found, staffers with less secure jobs would participate at higher — not lower — levels.</p> <p>Determining which training programs are building specific or general human capital is crucial. It’s not simply a matter of “if you build it, they will come.” Identifying whether programs are building general or specific human capital will help align these programs with the incentives of the staff who may — or may not — be interested in participating. </p> <p>Absent these steps, we should expect that the expertise gaps that exist on Capitol Hill — often due to high staff turnover in congressional offices — will continue to be problematic.</p> <p> </p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 cta-wrapper">

Her research examines why Congressional parties prioritize partisan conflict, focusing on both institutional changes and public preferences for bipartisanship. Her 2015 book, <em>Is Bipartisanship Dead?</em> (Cambridge University Press), explores how party leaders in the House of Representatives changed from prioritizing legislation with bipartisan agreement in the 1970s to prioritizing legislation with partisan disagreement by the 1990s. Her newest book, <em>Rejecting Compromise: Legislators' Fear of Primary Voters</em> (2020, Cambridge University Press) examines how legislators' perceptions of primary voters is an obstacle to legislative compromise, and examines what types of reforms can increase compromise.</p> <p>She earned her Ph.D. at Stanford University in 2009 and her work has been published in the <em>American Journal of Political Science</em>, <em>Legislative Studies Quarterly</em>, <em>Political Behavior</em>, and <em>American Politics Research</em>, among others. This research has been supported by the National Science Foundation Time Sharing Experiments in the Social Sciences (TESS), the Social Science Research Council, and the Dirksen Congressional Center. She is actively engaged with the Institute for Policy Research, the Applied Quantitative Methods Workshop, and the American Politics Workshop.</p></div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

Authors are: Danielle Thomsen, Sarah A. Treul, Craig Volden and Alan E. Wiseman. </p> <p>Are effective state lawmakers more likely than ineffective state lawmakers to be elected to Congress? We draw on a new dataset of state legislative effectiveness scores for nearly 60,000 state legislators from 1993 to 2018 to examine the relationship between lawmaker effectiveness and the decision to run for, and ultimately be elected to, the U.S. House of Representatives. We find that more- effective state lawmakers are more likely to ultimately enter Congress. This pattern is due more to the progressive ambition of candidates than to voter decisions. Specifically, more-effective lawmakers are much more likely to run for U.S. House seats than are their less-effective counterparts. However, there is essentially no relationship between a state legislator’s lawmaking effectiveness and the likelihood that she wins her primary or general House election upon deciding to run. Our findings offer important insights into how American federalism contributes to representation by effective lawmakers.</p></div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

While it’s clear that a bipartisan deal is necessary for legislative action in a politically divided government, it’s less clear whether bipartisanship is similarly useful for individual legislators.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Despite perceptions that Congress is dominated by partisan interests, </span></span><span><a href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/723805"><span><span>a new study</span></span></a></span><span><span> finds that legislators who draw in cosponsors from both sides of the aisle are more effective.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Researchers with the <a href="https://thelawmakers.org/">Center for Effective Lawmaking</a> analyzed more than 40 years of congressional data to determine whether effective legislators more frequently adopt a bipartisan or partisan approach to reaching their policy goals. They found that for both members of the House and Senate, legislative effectiveness is heightened when members build bipartisan coalitions around the bills they sponsor. This pattern holds over time and for both majority and minority legislators. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>The study is the first to take an individual- versus aggregate-level look at lawmakers’ efforts to build a coalition around their bills and how such strategies relate to their effectiveness in achieving policy goals. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>“In today’s closely divided and highly polarized political climate, partisan all-or-nothing policy proposals cannot solve the nation’s pressing policy problems,” said <span><a href="https://batten.virginia.edu/people/craig-volden">Craig Volden</a>,</span> professor of public policy and politics at the University of Virginia’s <a href="https://batten.virginia.edu/">Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy</a>. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <blockquote> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>“Lawmakers who recognize this, and do the hard work to form broader coalitions, have been finding much greater success. They offer a blueprint for constructive lawmaking that forms the bedrock of a healthy democracy,” Volden said.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> </blockquote> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>The study was co-authored by Volden, </span></span><span><a href="https://my.vanderbilt.edu/alanwiseman/"><span><span>Alan E. Wiseman</span></span></a></span><span><span>, chair of the political science department and Cornelius Vanderbilt Professor of Political Science and Law at <a href="https://www.vanderbilt.edu/">Vanderbilt University</a>, and <a href="https://www.ipr.northwestern.edu/who-we-are/faculty-experts/harbridge.html">Laurel Harbridge-Yong</a>, an associate professor of political science and a faculty fellow of the </span></span><span><span><span>I<a href="https://www.ipr.northwestern.edu//">nstitute for Policy Research</a></span></span></span><span><span><a href="https://www.ipr.northwestern.edu//"> at Northwestern</a>. Volden and Wiseman are co-directors of the </span></span><span><span><span>Center for Effective Lawmaking</span></span></span><span><span>, the source of legislative effectiveness data used in the study. Harbridge-Yong is a faculty affiliate of the center.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>“Our argument and findings are particularly novel because they point to the value of bipartisanship even in a highly polarized Congress where partisan conflict often seems the norm,” said </span></span><span><span><span>Harbridge-Yong</span></span></span><span><span>.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>“</span></span><span><a href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/723805"><span><span>The Bipartisan Path to Effective Lawmaking</span></span></a></span><span><span>” was published earlier this month in the <em>Journal of Politics</em> by University of Chicago Press. The study found that reciprocal relationships were key to increasing bipartisan support and legislative effectiveness. </span></span><span><span>“Effective lawmakers are willing to support well-thought-out proposals across the aisle and in turn receive bipartisan support for their best policy solutions,” Volden said.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Examining the relationship between bipartisanship and effectiveness, the study found that building bipartisan coalitions on the bills a member sponsors is positively associated with her legislative effectiveness score.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Data between 1973 (to coincide with the beginning of the modern Congress) and 2016 (when the research project began) was reviewed to assess whether the value of bipartisanship has declined over time. Findings showed that even as polarization in Congress has risen, bipartisanship is associated with increased effectiveness for both majority and minority party members.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Examples of legislators who scored high on the bipartisan metric included senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and the late John McCain (R-AZ). In the 113th Congress, Sen. Murkowski introduced 43 public bills, 33 of which drew cosponsors. In the 107th Congress, Sen. McCain introduced 45 bills and 31 drew cosponsors. The average proportion of bipartisan cosponsors attracted for these bills was a striking 85% for Murkowski and 67% for McCain. Both had high legislative effectiveness scores compared to similarly positioned members.<br /><br /> Legislators who scored low on the bipartisan metric included former senators Rick Santorum (R-PA) in the 105th Congress and Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) in the 114th Congress. Their average proportion of bipartisan cosponsors attracted was 3% and 14% respectively. Both legislators had low legislative effectiveness scores.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>“In the context of a political climate where bipartisanship and compromise seem like harmful traits in primary elections, or when high-profile initiatives reflect the majority party steamrolling the minority, these are surprising findings that point to the continued value of bipartisanship,” Harbridge-Yong said.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>“This study complements recently published research that demonstrate that those U.S. Representatives who are </span></span><span><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/718974__;!!Dq0X2DkFhyF93HkjWTBQKhk!Uz0N717PzUlsBRlkDF1Fny2_236xypUquwZMEpOaThAB4GNywmToMLjm8e6lUvieDhW6renXg8LybNSORw6CzlHp4Tnqn2aJn3JoYf8q$"><span><span>more effective lawmakers generally fare better in their primary elections than less effective lawmakers</span></span></a></span><span><span>, Wiseman said. “In combination with the findings of the current study, our most </span></span><span><span><span>recent article</span></span></span><span><span> establishes a connection between how legislating in a bipartisan manner can contribute to greater lawmaking effectiveness, which, in turn, can pay off electorally for incumbent members of Congress.”</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><strong><span><span><span><span><span><span>How the study was done</span></span></span></span></span></span></strong></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>To measure the extent of legislators’ bipartisan coalition building, the researchers leveraged observational data about members’ sponsorship and cosponsorship patterns in the House and Senate; members’ ability to draw in a bipartisan coalition of supporters on bills they have sponsored; and efforts to join bipartisan coalitions on bills sponsored by other members. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><a href="https://thelawmakers.org/methodology"><span><span>Legislative effectiveness </span></span></a><span><span>is based on 15 indicators that collectively capture the proven ability of a legislator to advance her agenda items through the legislative process and into law. Indicators measure how many bills a member sponsors, how many received action in and beyond committee, how many passed the chamber, and how many became law. Greater weight is also given to bills with greater substantive significance.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>To rule out other factors known to enhance legislators’ effectiveness, data on individuals holding committee chairs or having more seniority in the chamber were controlled for in the study.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

As in all previous releases, the scores are based on the combination of fifteen metrics regarding the bills that each member of Congress sponsors, how far they move through the lawmaking process, and how substantial their policy proposals are. The scores are normalized to an average value of 1.0 in both the House and the Senate. More on our methodology can be found <a href="https://thelawmakers.org/methodology">here</a>.</p> <p>Each lawmaker’s LES can be found <a href="https://thelawmakers.org/find-representatives#/">here</a>. For each Representative and Senator, we also identify a Benchmark Score, based on the average effectiveness of lawmakers who share that legislator’s majority- or minority-party status, level of seniority, and chair position on a committee or subcommittee. Controlling for these considerations is important in order to describe lawmakers on a more level playing field. For example, in the 117th House, minority-party lawmakers had an average LES of 0.58, compared to 1.40 for majority-party members, while committee chairs had an average of 2.55. In the more-egalitarian Senate, those averages were 0.77 in the minority party, 1.23 in the majority party, and 1.51 among committee chairs.</p> <p>We then label each lawmaker as “Exceeding Expectations” for those outperforming their benchmark by 50% or more, “Below Expectations” for those below 50% of their benchmark, and “Meeting Expectations” for those scoring near their benchmark. </p> <p>Finally, within each party, we rank each member from first to last. This ranking is used to generate the Top Ten lists highlighted in the tables below. Given the strong benefit from being in the majority party, ranking the entire Congress together would be inappropriate. But these comparisons within each party are quite informative.</p> <p><strong>Highly Effective Democratic Lawmakers in the 117th House of Representatives</strong></p> <p>The following table identifies the top ten highest-scorers in the 117th House of Representatives among majority-party Democrats. Unsurprisingly, given the power of committee and subcommittee chairs, nine of the top ten held such important positions. </p> <p>Topping our list is Rep. Gerald Connolly of Virginia, with a Legislative Effectiveness Score more than seven times the average member of the House. Rep. Connolly was Chair of the Government Operations subcommittee of the House Oversight and Reform Committee in the 117th Congress, where he was serving his 7th term. He sponsored 51 bills, 11 of which passed the House, and 3 of which became law as standalone measures. In contrast, the average member of the House sponsored 21 bills, with only one law produced for every two House members. In addition to sponsoring the <em>Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023</em>, Rep. Connolly was the sponsor of the <em>First Responder Fair RETIRE Act</em>, which allowed disabled first responders to collect federal retirement benefits in a manner equivalent to non-disabled federal first responders.  Rep. Connolly was also the sponsor of two bills, the <em>Enhanced Whistleblower Engagement Act</em>, and the <em>FedRAMP Authorization Act</em>, that had their language substantially incorporated into the <em>James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023</em>, which was signed into law in December 2022.</p> <p>While he used his position as committee chair to advance numerous pieces of legislation in the 117th Congress, Rep. Connolly has been an effective lawmaker throughout his career, even as a rank-and-file Representative, and when in the minority party. For example, he was in our “Exceeds Expectations” grouping in five of the seven Congresses in which he served, beginning with his third term in Congress, and every term thereafter (including the 117th Congress).</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 cta-wrapper"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' -->
