    Even if he doesn’t- silence is complicity, at least as far as representative democracy goes.

        Ok, so call his office and leave a message about how you don’t support that.

        People always underestimate how little it takes to scare the shit out of a politician. If more people made a little phone call, a lot more votes would go the way they want.

          I was wrong, he’s not resigning, apparently? Coverage of local races is notoriously horrible and Google is worse.

          He also famously refused to meet with constituents.

          He literally could not care less what I think, and has told me so in numerous letters I’ve gotten from him in response to believing “just write your representatives” would work.

          ETA: He is currently up for reelection. It’s a red district so he’ll win. My neighbors scare me.
