Gerry Connolly...what does he do?

Go find the YouTube video of him yelling at Jim Jordan. Not. Quiet..

In my pro choice, pro sensible gun law, pro public school moderate liberal mind: He’s good. What do you want him to do? Sex in a theatre like Lauren Bobert?

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 basically WMATA's biggest federal backer. If it wasn't for Connolly, we would be in much rougher shape.

Back in 2015 I went to a Clinton appearance in OT and he appeared and opened up with “Hello Arlington” and I’ve never gotten past that.

Nothing. He has never done anything. I am not a Dem but I don't hate him. He's your typical old-school Fairfax technocrat. He always advocates for federal workers and his constituents.

He maintains a low-profile in a seat that is perfect for him.

Whoever replaces him when he retires will be awful so I guess I'm glad we have him.

Some FCPS school board idiot will replace him and be absolutely obnoxious. I hope he stays in good health and can stay in office until this crazy era ends.

Not everyone can be a rockstar like AOC, or the others on The Squad.

We need representatives who will quietly go to work, and vote as the party tells them to.

Gerry is my rep and Gym Jordan is my parents’ rep in Ohio and I remember when that happened my parents thought it was hilarious! They think Jordan is a total idiot.

He's a milquetoast Dem, he does nothing and that makes me happy. I feel bad for the people stuck in districts with loud, annoying congressmen.

+1, he's my rep and there's little that can be done as part of the minority. I've watched him in a couple of the weaponization hearings and he's good at calling out the other side on their BS...but really the hearings are a waste of everybody's time.

Gerry is amazing. Effective and powerful while still being low-key and under the radar. He’s like a stealth fighter.

He's had a couple of "Outbursts" in Congressional hearings, one involved him with Tom Homan on the safety of migrant children and another one on Trump's initial response to Covid-19.

Also, I don't think he purposely wants to be "Low-Key"; he ran to be the Chairman of the Oversight Committee for the Dems but lost to Jamie Raskin.
