Happy 4th of July! From the entire Quorum team, we hope you have a festive holiday enjoying the summer sun, eating barbecue, and watching fireworks. Here are some fun stats on the elected officials most excited about celebrating the 4th:
Reps. Byrne and Hartzler mention fireworks the most frequently, with 20 statements on the topic while in office
Both members turn to social media to show constituents where they are watching fireworks every year! Rep. Byrne makes his way around multiple fireworks destinations in his district each year, while Rep. Hartzler likes to ask constituents for feedback on which fireworks she should check out!
Rep. Beto O’Rourke is the most vocal member on barbecues, hosting campaign events entitled “BBQs with Beto”
Many members turn to social media to highlight what they consider the best barbecue locations in their districts, featuring local twists on the cuisine.
Leader Pelosi has mentioned the 4th of July more than any other legislator in the 115th Congress
Pelosi’s dialogue on 4th of July peaked last summer as she and the Democratic delegation fought to protect the Affordable Care Act heading into the recess over the holiday week.
