I live in Virginia. When I lived in Richmond, my congresscritter was the execrable Eric Cantor. Then I moved up here to VA-06 where it was the detestable Bob Goodlatte, about whom the only good thing I could say was that he was not Eric Cantor. Now it's that spineless slug Ben Cline. I just cannot win.

California has some fine representatives. And some not-so fine. It is "diverse".

Ted Lieu, Eric Swalwell, Zoe Lofgren, Pete Aguilar and probably many other great reps I don't know much about. That's a lot to be proud of!

Senators Wyden and Merkeley. My sympathies to all who have to deal with the Trump cult.

of having HALF (OR-2 R, OR-5 R, OR-6 close to being R) of your U.S. House delegation being Rethugs, despite it being a pretty deep Blue state. Also, in OR-4, the Dem barely topped 50%. .

if some years ago the GQP had hoped that promoting McCarthy would return to the fold some of the many CA voters they seemed to be losing. If that was the plan, it looks like it backfired.
