On the heels of two failed House speaker nominees, eight Republicans with varied experience levels are making their pitch Monday for why they should be next in line.
Why it matters: The next speaker will need to navigate another looming government shutdown and respond to the White House's $106 billion emergency funding request to aid Israel and Ukraine as well as bolster border security.
By the numbers: Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) has the most congressional experience of the group, serving 13 terms. He has also sponsored the most legislation — 136 bills over his career, according to data compiled by Quorum.
- In proportion to their time in office, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) and Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) have been the most productive.
- Donalds has sponsored 49 bills in two terms, while Emmer has sponsored 97 bills over five.
- Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Ala.) has had the most success in getting his bills through the House, with 19% of bills he sponsored making it out of the chamber.
- Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) had seen the greatest share of his sponsored bills become law — 6.5%.
What's next: Republicans start voting on Tuesday to pick a speaker nominee.
