Rob Andrews:
“Exceedingly Poor”

Two more failed bills brings
Andrews’ record to 1 out of 538 since ‘93

BARRINGTON – U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews, a nine-term incumbent who has spent 18 years as a member of the Washington elite, has sunk even further down the rankings in terms of his legislative ability and influence in Congress.

According to Govtrack.us, Rep. Rob Andrews’ “congressional batting average” now stands at a miserable .002. Since 1993, Andrews has authored 538 different bills, with only one of them being enacted into law.  His abysmal legislative record has earned Andrews a rating of “exceedingly poor,” the lowest ranking for any member of Congress.

As a result of Andrews’ legislative ineptitude, his congressional “power ranking” also fell to an historic low.  According to Congress.org, Andrews is now the second to lowest ranked Democrat from the Class of 1990.  In fact, the only representative who is considered less influential than Rob Andrews is William Jefferson of Louisiana, who is currently under federal indictment.

“Rob’s congressional record is an embarrassment to South Jersey,” charged Dale Glading, Andrews’ opponent in November’s election. “His nonexistent legislative record has made Rob Andrews the laughingstock of the U.S. House of Representatives.”

“However, South Jerseyans aren’t laughing,” Glading added. “Because of Rob’s lack of influence in Congress, our district receives only 61 cents for every tax dollar we send to Washington. That ranks us dead last in the entire United States.”

“When freshman congressmen are more respected by their peers than a nine-term incumbent, it's time to make a change,” Glading continued. “Rob Andrews has failed to effectively represent South Jersey, and now we’re paying the price for his ineptitude.”

“Maybe Rob would have done a better job if he hadn’t repeatedly used his congressional seat to run for higher office,” concluded Glading. “But his insatiable political ego got the best of him, and he’s had it on autopilot ever since he first ran for governor in 1997.”
