Good to see them responding to electoral incentives, but unfortunately they'll probably go back to being 100% party-line hacks if the GOP is in the majority and their vote is actually needed.

To be fair, Greg Walden and Chris Smith aren't exactly in electoral danger.

Stefanik is probably angling to become a future party leader in the House, so some of her votes against the current GOP agenda are not surprising. She's young enough where controversial votes could come back to bite her later (especially if the GOP abandons some of its far-right positions in coming decades), so she has to proceed cautiously.

Good to have an insurance candidate here if Nunez is found to be the one who killed that DNC staffer and hid his body under his house. Jk lol, but still, insurance candidates are good.

Davis Versus Roy is a safe R race that will suck up Texas Democratic money for a lost cause.

Big pharma lobbyist Amanda Makki announces challenge to Charlie Crist in FL-13. She recently moved from DC to Pinellas County. Horrible recruit for the GOP.

Makki worked for Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski for seven years, specializing in health policy, and left in 2014 to become a lobbyist for Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk. In 2017, she joined the lobbying firm of K&L Gates and worked as a partner in their Washington, D.C. office.

Novo Nordisk is best known as the company that increased insulin prices by 700%.

Nobody wants her to run and she should have been thinking before she decided to work at Novo Nordisk to run for Congress.

Presumably, they mean nobody in Florida politics or the NRCC wanted her to run.
