7. What is your view on the problem of generational change?

I can't find statistics on the 115th Congress yet, but in the current Congress there is a lot of very old leadership in the Democratic Party ranks. I don't think there were a lot of retirements, and the seniority situation will not be much different in the 115th.

It would seem that there is a need for generational change, and that if that occurs, the existing divisions that you describe may no longer exist to the same degree.
