"Leeches are hermaphrodites, they mate with other leeches, and accessory pores secrete mucus that allows the mating leeches to stick together"

Make the area an endangered species habitat, and start moving agencies to the other states.

That’s what you would find in a Swamp.

"Are they Republicans or Democrats?" Generally leeches and other parasites know no party
boundaries. However the greatest concentration of leeches
are usually found in the Democrat Party. Democrats
most definitely have the most leeches among
the constituents they claim to represent.
And Washington DC is their favorite part of the
national anatomy for them to latch on to!

And, from that description, they must all vote Democrat! And may well be in the running to be nominated by that party to be their candidate in 2020.
