Roy, Cruz named most active X posters in Congress: Report

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) were named the most active posters on the social platform X this year among all lawmakers in Congress, according to a recent report.

The Dec. 17 report by Quorum, a Washington-based public affairs firm, found that Roy, who represents Texas's 21st Congressional District, was the most active member of Congress on X in 2024, authoring 9,799 posts. Cruz was second on the list with 9,056 posts. 

Quorum said it analyzed every post on X made by members of the 118th Congress this year. It covered activity on the platform between Jan. 1 and Nov. 30. Most lawmakers have two accounts — one that represents their office in an official capacity and a personal one. 

In third place, behind Cruz, was Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) with 7,584 posts. Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) was fourth, with 6,052 posts, while Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) rounded out the top five with 6,013 posts. 

No Democratic Party lawmaker cracked the top 10. The party’s most prolific poster on X was first-term Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) with 3,983 posts, earning 15th place on the list dominated by GOP legislators. 

Lawmakers in Congress have churned out 628,998 posts on X so far in 2024, marginally higher than in 2023, when they posted 616,701 times during the same period, according to the report. Quorum noted the slight uptick in 2024 was likely due to it being in a presidential election year, prompting more activity on the platform. 

Top Democratic Party posters from a year ago on X have scaled back their activity on the platform in 2024, the report found. Rep. Dwight Evans (D-Pa.), representing the state’s 3rd Congressional District, was the most active X poster last year with 4,567 posts. In 2024, his usage dropped by 66 percent, with 1,541 posts so far. The second and third most frequent posters last year, California Reps. Robert Garcia (D) and Ted Lieu (D), posted 35 percent and 26 percent less this year on the platform, respectively.
