Trent Franks used to be my Congressman too, before redistricting, and I got to know him. It doesn’t matter how Conservative you are if you don’t actually do anything. He talks a lot, but I just never saw the action behind the words. He’s not my favorite.
I am not from your state, but an observation.
Note that none of the really conservatives get any bills passed except for some who have been there so long that they have some seniority.
The committee structure is such that their bills never get to the floor.
