I live in a state that COULD have been competitive last year had the state party not sat the governor's race out. Now we have 4 more years of a bully governor. I was redistricted from a good Democratic congressman to one who's primary purpose in Congress is to criminalize abortion. (The only person I can think of that could take him out is not running anytime soon and probably won't give up his day job). My state legislative district is THE most Republican in the state.

However, as a political staffer, I travel to the district/state I am needed in most.
