I'm upset with her rhetoric in the wake of her disastrous Senate campaign for sure, so I'm not voting. However, she has undoubtedly been one of the best members of Congress since she got there and it's a damn shame she's giving up her House seat.
How so? She seems like a really standard typical Democrat.
I appreciate her willingness to take corporations and their representatives to task during hearings. I get some people think the whiteboard thing is cringe and she definitely has a certain Karen energy to her, but she's smart as hell and when she's actually doing her job, she's been a great voice for a lot of progressive positions without kowtowing to the online left.
She doesn't really take them to task though, she just rehearses speeches with her whiteboard and then fishes for talking points.
She has never passed any bills or had any actual impact in committee, nor has she ever succeeded at reaching across the aisle.
To use an example of a progressive, I am no fan of Ro Khanna, but I think he makes way more of an effort to try and actually get stuff done or at least have an impact on legislation under consideration.
