Ray Hartmann, U.S. Representative from Missouri’s First Congressional District (mostly the city of St. Louis), reports that my rep. from the 2nd District, Ann Wagner (I’m not to blame for her, I promise), got a little confused. 😎
It’s so nice that Republicans are protecting us from those godless libruls.
You may not be to blame, personally, but it’s in the title, no?
*Your* Representative, where ‘you’ refers to the population of Missouri’s First Congressional District.
Got elected, no? 😐
I’m not sure what your complaint is.
Ray Hartmann, formerly the publisher of the liberal weekly newspaper, The Riverfront Times, did indeed win the last Democratic primary for the U.S. House of Representatives for the 1st District, a reliable Democratic seat. I would have preferred that Cori Bush, who was a member of the Squad, would have remained the rep.; but I don’t live in the 1st District so I didn’t have any say in the matter.
I live in the 2nd District, a reliable Republican seat held by Ann Wagner. I’m not aware that she does anything but fundraising; but I kinda knew that she’s a trumpista. Yes, she got elected too, but not because of my vote.
No complaint. Revelation. Reality.
Democracy in action. The most votes.
The ‘representation’ is at the population level, not at the level of individuals.

I should have written ‘You deserve no blame’ rather than the more rhetorical tone I did use.

FWIW, I can’t see that pendulum getting much higher, and at some point a correction might well occur.
