How many Amendments did Representatives File?

The House posted the floor amendments yesterday and the good news is that they came in just under a thousand.  Last year House members filed 1512 amendments, this shows unusual restraint on their part.  With 160 members filing just under a thousand amendments, that means the average member filed 6.25 amendments.  Still, some were more aggresive than others.

The table below sets forth a list of House members and the number of amendments that they filed.

Benjamin Swan heads up the list, having filed 40 amendments all by himself.  Bradley Jones, William Lantigua, Cheryl Coakley-Rivera (last year's champion), Gene O'Flaherty and Martin Walsh all hit the twenties.  On the other end of the spectrum, a half dozen Representatives only filed one amendment apiece.  Now that's restraint.  Or maybe indifference.  Who knows?
