I look forward to listening to the podcast, but having spent much time electing and working for House and Senate members, I know they each defined "effectiveness" very differently and individually, from clicks and media to amendments, dollars brought back to the district, and more, focused on the particular areas of expertise the member wants to focus on (education, armed services, etc.). It strikes me as a huge, if not insurmountable, challenge unless you have preconceived notions of "effectiveness" that reflect a particular agenda.
