(32,093 posts)That is unexpected, especially considering she is in a purplish district.

(18,497 posts)That surprised me a bit.
But it is going at least purple.
We managed to have a D in Cunningham for a couple of years.

(26,404 posts)It is a start.
If I had a billion dollars and if there was no chance a Dem would win the District, I might actually send them money if they were up against a Trumplican.
But I don't, so my money will go only to those Dems which I can help with what resources I do have.

(9,273 posts)Hes smart enough to vote on our side once in a while to make himself look moderate in this purple district that went for Biden but (sadly) re-elected him. He does what hes told.
On edit: hes also the only R Congressperson from PA who is NOT in the Sedition Caucus. Yay Brian. Again, the appearance of sanity.

(489 posts)He's my rep. Slimy bastard he is. Votes with democrats when it doesn't matter for the most part to boost his bipartisan creds, yet voted against impeachment even as a former fbi agent.

Rep. John Katko: Trump makes it difficult to stay in Republican Party
Updated: Sep. 16, 2021, 1:54 p.m. | Published: Sep. 16, 2021, 11:21 a.m.
U.S. Rep. John Katko says Donald Trump should no longer be considered the leader of the Republican Party and vowed not to back down to Trumps political threats against him.
Katko, R-Camillus, made his comments Wednesday when asked how he stays in a Republican Party controlled by Trump and his political allies.
