Is there an online list of bills introduced by specific members of Congress?

Specifically, I'm curious as to how many bills were introduced by Gaetz, Greene, and others of their ilk.

to an old friend who's a Republican, all neatly packaged on one screen so he doesn't have to do any work.

4. I just got an e-mail from my Congresswoman, Mary Miller (R-IL), with a list of her bills.

First up. She wants to prohibit any solar panels being erected on any land that could be used to grow crops.

Next, she wants to prohibit the chemical castration of our little boys.

Oh, and she wants to stop Biden from putting America under the control of Chinese Communists.

You know, common sense stuff to help her constituents and Make America Great Again!

On edit: Not sure if these are actual bills. Perhaps they are aspirational asks.

Growing crops under solar panels makes food—and healthier solar panels
‘Agrivoltaics’—putting agriculture under solar installations—is a good way to maximize land use. It also makes the solar panels last longer.

Using land for solar arrays or agriculture farms is often portrayed as a zero-sum game, but it doesn’t always need to be. Agrivoltaics is the technical term for using land for both solar energy and crops, with everything from mushrooms to broccoli growing beneath arrays. This has proven beneficial for farmers, in some cases increasing yields, reducing water use, and adding another income stream from energy production. And, it turns out, it benefits the solar panels too, improving their performance and longevity by keeping them cooler.


We have a farm like this down the road from us.

This year, the garden produced more than 8,000 pounds of produce, while the panels above generate enough power for 300 local homes.

7. She thinks this is a Chinese Communist plot, since most solar panels are made in China.

By subsidizing renewable energy, The Biden Crime Family is selling out to the Chinese, don't you see.

Illinois 15 is a very safe district for Republicans, and this is what a safe Republican district offers us.
