Rep. Neguse Recognized Nationally for Having 2nd Most Laws Enacted in Entire House of Representatives

Lafayette, CO — In case you missed it, in their annual report released last week by GovTrack.us, House Assistant Minority Leader Joe Neguse (CO-02) was recognized for writing the 2nd most laws of any member of the U.S. House of Representatives during the 118th Congress, building on his legacy of legislative effectiveness. 

Neguse was also listed as the overall Member of Congress with the most amount of bipartisan support on his proposals and laws enacted within the Colorado delegation. See his complete 2024 Report Card HERE. 

“The twelve counties that make up Colorado’s 2nd District — from the Western Slope to the Wyoming border — truly represent the essence of our great state. And in our communities, we do things a bit differently than other places. We listen to each other. We respectfully exchange views. And we know when it’s time to roll up our sleeves and work together to find solutions that will benefit our people, our cities, our state, and our nation. I’m deeply proud that in adopting this mindset in the last Congress, our office was able to accomplish many legislative goals from the last two years—collaborating with lawmakers from across the political spectrum and advancing locally driven initiatives,” said Assistant Leader Neguse. 

The 12 bills Assistant Leader Neguse had signed into law include the Disaster Assistance Deadlines Alignment Act, Federal Data Center Enhancement Act, Military Families Mental Health Services Act, NACIE Improvement Act, Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins Endangered Fish Recovery Programs Reauthorization Act, Drought Preparedness Act, Water Data Improvement Act, BOLT Act, Improving Outdoor Recreation Coordination Act (FICOR), Forest Service Flexible Housing Partnerships Act, Stop the Spread of Invasive Mussels Act, and the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Location Act. Over the last two years, Neguse introduced more than 100 bills and resolutions. 

Congressman Joe Neguse has represented Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District since 2019. He is currently a senior member of House Leadership, having been elected by his colleagues to serve as House Assistant Minority Leader in March 2024.

Last year, in just his second term in Congress, Congressman Neguse was recognized for having more bills signed into law than any other member of the U.S. House—a distinction he has carried through to his third term. He is also a recipient of the JFK “New Frontier Award,” given in acknowledgment of his work to build bipartisan legislative coalitions and establish service town halls—the first of which was at Rocky Mountain National Park. 

The 40-year-old former attorney is a dedicated public servant and a national leader on public policy concerning drought and wildfires in the West, as well as gun-violence prevention.
