You just picked out a couple of the loonier ones. All of them have served their districts well for a long time or else they’d have been replaced by Republicans or primaried. Long time in office.
Who is your Congress member?
Scaring the people with the boogie man is like eating too much sugar. It’s great now, but really soon you’re gonna get sick and pissed at yourself for making such a bad choice.
Maxine Waters probably isn’t running in your district.

My Congressperson is Sheila Jackson Lee.
This is not a scare tactic. It's fact. While your Federal Representatives might be locally elected, once they arrive in Washington they become part of a National Political Party. The Party in charge controles all of the Committees, chooses the Senate Majority Leader, and Speaker of the House, (although there is nothing in the Constitution that says the Speaker must come from the Majority Party).
So, a vote for a certain party locally means support for that Party's National Agenda, whether you like it or not.
