Yeah, you’d have to go back to 1964 to the last time the Democrats won that seat. There’s only been 2 members since 1966, the legendary Bill Steiger (who was all of 28 when he won and who died prematurely at just 40), and Petri, who won his seat when Steiger died in a 1979 special.

I’m not familiar with Steiger.
” in 1969 he employed the future Vice President Dick Cheney as an intern.”
Wow.

Boy, that must have been one brutal special election if it got Steiger killed ..... : )
