| He might be the most worthless member of the VA delegation along with the most unknown - even Jennifer McClellan and Kagans are more well know. What exactly does he bring to the area? He seems so queit. |
| Nothing, same when he held lower offices in VA. |
| All he seems to do is be very involved in all the goings on with local Democrats. |
| You know, I’m ok with politicians who stay out of the news, don’t need to make a big name for themselves, vote for policies I support, and otherwise stay out of the limelight. I actually wish we had more of them. |
He is also a proponent of federal workers, welcome among the omnipresent disdain for them from so many in Congress and outside of it. |
| He's a placeholder |
| Are you from the area? He's very well known in his district. He comes to civic events, he sends out a newsletter, there's a bike trail named after him. He frequently introduces legislation to support Feds. |
| Helps out quite a bit with federal pension issues and red tape for his constituents. We’ve reached out to him a few times and his office quickly responds and helps resolve issues, I was very surprised! |
| He’s very big on fighting for federal workers. His office is one of the best and always has been responsive to me. |
| Not a dem but he seems like a quiet professional to me. A lot of politicians on both sides could take a lesson from him. |
| He does nothing. He's just a seat warmer. |
| He's all about growing government. IOW - he is a Democrat. |
+1 his office is pretty responsive, especially for escalating passport issues if you ever need them for that kind of thing. |
| He is a Congressman. Lol! |
For 20 years? |
