I’m a hardcore Conservative Rep. (I’m somewhere to the right of Goldwater, Sr.) from the People’s Socialist Republic of Portland, and I have met Walden at several GOP functions in the state - including Dorchester Conference and the Lincoln’s Day Event.
He is one of a handful of officeholders on the entire west coast who qualify as both Republican and a legit Conservative. He is a decent guy who actually has “a pair”.
You’re fortunate that he is your congressional rep...you can consider him a congressman, not a “critter” as we so often refer to them.

I feel the same way about my Congressman, Tom Price. Before redistricting, my Congresscritter was Cynthia McKinney, and she was / is quite the critter.
I have an autographed picture of Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) framed on my wall.
