Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux, 7th District GA
I attended the Representative's Town Hall today, and came away pessimistic. She touted the bipartisan Infrastructure bill, but would not commit to supporting the larger reconciliation package. The house was packed with young environmental/climate change activists so she said she would support the environmental elements of the package, but no on Medicare for all, maybe on family leave, and maybe on social justice issues if someone can figure out how to pay for them.
I dont have a knee-jerk negative reaction to bipartisanship, but I would rather that our Democrats remember their party affiliation, and who sent them to DC.
