13. He was a "Blue Dog" Democrat. Remember them?

He represents an extremely rural (and White) district that went for Trump even when he (Golden) was elected. And he came in 2nd in the 2020 election, but with ranked-choice voting he was bumped up to the winner. All his elections have been squeakers, so it's not clear how well a progressive Dem would do. Hopefully we'll find out in November.
