Of the 11 Republicans who voted AGAINST the bill, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois is the only one that I suspect currently has aspirations for higher office. He would NEVER get my support based upon this single betrayal. Just like Rubio, he is dead to me now...no matter how much he may try (again like Rubio) to rehabilitate himself in the future.
He now represents a huge section of rural eastern Washington that is a big time agricultural area, and it has a large Hispanic population.
Before 2002, his District was centered on Bellevue, which is 33% (!) foreign born.
He is (was) a law-and-order, center-left Republican.
He could not have been elected in the Bellevue area except for the fact that he was King County Sheriff, and, in earlier years, he led the investigation that successfully ID’d the prime suspect in the “Green River Murders.”
In 2012, the Democrat who won Reichert’s old seat in Bellevue got 75% of the vote.
Cory Gardner, eh?
And this guy is the R Senate candidate in CO. That’s not exactly the way to gain conservative support.
“Fred Upton (R-MI)”
No wonder his niece is depressed and thus putting on weight.
