I want to know what it's like being a backbench Congressman. What's it like being Brett Guthrie or Larry Buschon?

on the Democratic side, how about Dutch Ruppersberger?

he's been in Congress since 2003! Totally obscure.

here's another obscure one: Alan Lowenthal

I for one throughly enjoyed Captain Marvel. Why didn't people like it? It's got Jude Law. Isn't that enough?

We should have Jude Law in more movies.

First movie I saw him in. Was kind of a quirky movie that didn't really take off at the time.

A bunch of these are going to get much safer seats in redistricting or already represent safe seats.

Certainly DeFazio is in no trouble. Dems can easily shore him up in redistricting. Axne is getting a much bluer seat in redistricting due to population changes.

Washington uses a bipartisan redistricting commission, so that ensures Kim Schrier gets a safe seat. Do the people working either party's committees know how redistricting works?

Laredo Congressman Henry Cuellar saw some of his crossover appeal dip this past cycle. Though he well outran Biden, he came just short of matching Clinton's margin and did a few points worse than Obama.

The Bexar portion shifted strongly leftward while Cuellar lost ground in rural areas. Bexar County (TX-28 pt)
2012 Pres: Romney 50-49%
2016 Pres: Clinton 49-47%
2020 House: Cuellar 54-43%

Even someone like Cuellar can't avoid the realignment.

Who are the Romney/Trump/Klobuchar/Trump voters?

Red Lake County:
2012 Pres: Romney +2.5
2016 Pres: Trump +32
2018 Sen: Klob +11.5
2020 Pres: Trump +34

Obviously whatever she's doing is working. These people don't otherwise vote for Democrats but love Klobuchar.

In fact most of the Alabama statewide officeholders are former Democrats.. Many of them began their political careers as Democrats.

In fact John Merill lost reelection to the state house to a guy who switched parties after 1994. Merill later switched parties too.

Governor Kay Ivey, Treasurer John McMillan, SoS John Merill, and Auditor Jim Ziegler all first ran for office as Democrats.
