The problem with Heinrich is that he has been basically invisible. He has been in the Senate as long as Cory Booker and still has virtually no buzz or media profiles. He hasn't done anything in the cabinet hearings either.
True... and again I wasn't saying he is the Best candidate for 2020, just he's would be credible to WC voters. Part of the reason he does come off as honest and sincere... is he has kept his head down in the Senate- so he avoids "calculated or attention seeker" label.
But 2 Attributes:
1) He has some issue credibility: His goals back in 2006 as Albuquerque (pop 500k) City Council President were: Raising Minimum Wage, Create Jobs, Crime, & Solar/Wind Energy
2) He does have good Committee Assignments:
-Senate Intel
-Arms Services
-Joint Economic
-Energy & Natural Resources
(Which Pair up Nicely with Cory Booker's Committee Assignments..all of which are different)
-Homeland Security
-Small Business & Entrepreneur
-Environment
-Commerce & Transportation
