I'm amazed at the Golden rating because Crafts isn't even that bad of a recruit. He's a former state Rep, business owner, and he has an interesting story of being paralyzed in a motorcycle accident. I have no idea why his fundraising is so poor. You would think that a very white, rural, Trump +10 seat is one that Republicans would be going after.
It just goes to show you how strong of a recruit Golden was. And to think that Lucas St. Clair was running neck and neck with him in the primary in 2018. What a disaster he'd have been. Golden is understated and quiet in everything he does but clearly there's a lane for a calm, nice, hardworking guy who just wants to deliver for his constituents. It also shows Democrats the kind of person they need to run in rural districts that might be trending Republican. Golden is a reliable vote on women's issues, LGBT issues, environmental issues, labor issues, etc. Really, the only area where he is more conservative is on guns. But that works for his district.
