I live in Jacksonville. Specifically the 4th District, which is currently drawn to overwhelmingly favor Ander Crenshaw, stretching to Tally-town. Long ago, I gave up on trying to express my views and concerns to his office. When they don't outright ignore me, they tell me that his mind is made-up, and I can just go piss up a rope (in much more polite terms, but their intent is abundantly clear).
Somehow, his other constituents overlook his dismal failure to bring another aircraft carrier to NS Mayport after the JFK was decommissioned. Bottom line: he cannot even deliver that one small slice of bacon to a district that has so many (more) pressing needs.
When I've begged the local Democratic Party to offer a candidate who can have a fighting chance against this washed-up politician, they shrug, wring their hands and try to change the subject.
Redistricting is THAT important to me!
