2. He is my rep.

He is a shithead and a tea partier. He primaried a very conservative Congressman and beat him.

We had to pressure and ridicule him before he held a town hall. He got the League of Women voters to host it, and it was a sham. I asked him a question about agricultural trade with Mexico, since we farm in a very rural district. He answered about drugs coming over the border from Mexico. In other words, he did not answer the question.

I asked him about some key educational items he has voted against. He said that he could not be expected to remember every vote he has made. Who does he think he works for? Agriculture and education are important in this district.

He manspread. Yuck. He loomed over the audience with his armed crossed.

He talked about what he wanted to talk about. We were not allowed to follow up. It was very unfair. He has an opponent. I intend to write a lot of LTTEs about his conduct at that so-called town hall.

His every vote is pro-trump. He wants do do away with the ACA and calls it a failure. He wants grants to states instead. He is a fool and a charlatan. He does not know us here.

I don't know if his opponent can beat him. The blue wave might have to be twice as big in this district. The only thing that might hurt him is trump's demise or a total collapse of the agricultural sector.

I have called his office, sent post cards, protested, and you name it. Voting him out, a longshot, is the only thing left.
