Questions
1. Kindly provide recent legislative items that were sponsored or co-sponsored by the Representative and Senator (Alex Padilla and Anna Eshoo), also provide the title of the legislation, the year it was introduced, and indicate if it became law. Additionally, investigate if the legislators included this legislation in their platform when they ran for office. Evaluate if this legislation aligns with biblical principles. To do so, you could analyze the biblical principles that the legislation reflects, such as justice, mercy, compassion, and care for the vulnerable also explore if the legislation is consistent with the principles of the common good, the dignity of life, and the protection of human rights.
2. Analyse how the interest groups- ADA, ACLU, ACU, and CC/FRC rate the Representative and Senator being analyzed. The scores from these interest groups provide insight into how the legislators align with the values and goals of the respective groups. You should include the exact scores from each of these groups.
Based on the interest group ratings and the legislative efforts of the Representative and Senator, classify them as conservative or liberal. The classification should be justified based on the overall scores and how the legislators align with the values and goals of the respective groups. e.g. Senator B has received a score of 75 from the ADA, 20 from the ACU, 95 from the ACLU, and 20 from the CC. The scores suggest that Senator B is more aligned with the values of the ADA and the ACLU, which are considered liberal interest groups, and less aligned with the values of the ACU and the CC, which are considered conservative interest groups. Based on these scores and the legislative efforts of Senator B, the researcher could classify them as liberal.
3. Kindly explain how the congressional delegation reflects or does not reflect their values. Evaluate the performance of the Representative and Senator based on their legislative accomplishments, interest group ratings, and alignment with biblical principles. Also assess if the legislators have fulfilled the promises made during their campaign and if they have represented the needs and interests of their constituents. Based on this analysis, the researcher can provide an overall evaluation of the congressional delegation and how they represent the values of the community they serve.
