U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Moosic, this week was named a “Common Ground Champion” for working across the aisle to deliver for his constituents.

In a ranking of all U.S. House Members, U.S. Senators, and Governors run by the Common Ground Committee, Cartwright proved more bipartisan than over 90% of national lawmakers.

Since taking office in 2013, Cartwright said he has introduced more bills with bipartisan support “than any other House Democrat.” He said this no-nonsense approach has delivered results: Cartwright wrote and passed “16 substantive bills into law,” earning final signatures from each of the last three presidents.

The Common Ground Committee, a nonpartisan organization dedicated to improving political discourse, publishes the scorecard.
