17. Let's not forget the bravery and risk the entire delegation took.....

May 2022

We have a 5 vote majority in the house and we sent 7 reps into a war zone.

If things went sideways, control of the house could be at risk.

Safe seats? Hardly in a non incumbent election. McGovern (my rep) won his seat from a republican. His district is not deep blue. It almost went for trump.

In an open seat election, it might go red. Weird district, they had to throw in parts of western mass near Rachel Maddow home to balance it.

This was not a junket to cancun.
