I've been represented by John Kline and Steve King so far, and I honestly hate both of them, though Kline is the lesser of two evils.

Federal
1) Aileen Carroll
2) John Godfrey

3) Belinda Stronach (lib->con switcher)
4) Peter Braid
5) Patrick Brown


Provincial

1) Catherine Fife

2) Kathleen Wynne
3) Ann Hoggarth
4) Aileen Carroll

5) Frank Cleves
6) Rod Jackson


Barrie, Don Valley West, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Newmarket-Aurora are all represented here; I don't remember any MPs/MPPs I had before 2003.

Belinda was a Con -> Lib switcher.

If we're doing provincial reps, I can't chose between the four MPPs that have represented me since I was one, as they are Dalton McGuinty (1990-2008; 2013), his father Dalton Sr. (1987-1990), his assistant John Fraser (2013-present), and the President of the Liberal Party, Yasir Naqvi. (2008-2013).

Indiana District 3:

1. Marlin Stutzman (2010-Present)
2. Mark Souder (2003-2010)
3. Timothy Roemer (1991-2003)

I really couldn't decide between 2 and 3, but Souder took number two because he admitted his wrong-doings, and resigned. That, and he basically grew up and lived a few miles from me. Roemer is just a typical moderate Dem. Stutzman is by far my favorite, but by no means perfect.

1. PA-07 Pat Meehan (2012-Present)
2. NJ-06 Frank Pallone (1994-2012*)

*I can't find historical congressional districts of NJ. I moved from the north part of the district in 1999 to what is the southernmost point for each of the last two congressional maps. It is quite possible that Rush Holt (NJ-12) spent 3.5 years as my congressman. Sadly I do not know, and I highly doubt I could find a map accurate enough to prove one way or the other. If he did, I would rank him 3rd behind Pallone as I do have a great deal of respect for Pallone (well, both of them actually, but especially Pallone).

1. Susan Brooks (Republican) 2013-present
2. Dan Burton (Republican) before 2013


Not really a fan of either, but Brooks is at definitely the better of the two.

1. Patrick J. Kennedy (1995-1998)
2. Zach Wamp (1998-2011)
3. Chuck Fleischmann (2011-Present)

I thought about ranking Wamp ahead of Kennedy because he was good on local issues, but decided against because Kennedy's views are closer to mine.  I don't really like any of them, though.

I'd like to add Don Beyer as the new #1 and move everyone else down a slot; quite a dropoff, too.

Holy crap, I didn't realize how bad I had it:

1) Bob Livingston
2) Robert Pittenger
3) Sue Myrick
4) Bill Cassidy
5) David Vitter

There's not a lot of space between Livingston and Vitter; they're all almost interchangeable.

1. Jim Bridenstine
2. Steve Largent
3. Jim Inhofe
4. John Sullivan

The only Oklahoma politician I like less than Inhofe is Sullivan.

1: Thomas Massie (up there with Walter Jones)



2: Ken Lucas and Geoff Davis tied, not a huge difference.

I don't know enough about Mike Ward or Anne Northup except that I remember my parents liked Northup.

1. Rush Holt (2000-2015)
2. Bonnie Watson Coleman (2015-)
3. Joseph Hoeffel (1999-2000)
4. John Fox (1997-1999)

I know nothing about Hoeffel and Fox, so they're last by default. Holt was a a good congressman though. Really wish he had won the Senate seat.
