Often, a progressive in a congressional district fits there but in a big state like California, New York, Texas, Florida a great candidate steps up to the next level thinking they are a fit and instead, we lost them as a strong voice think Beto, Katie Porter, Val Demmings, New York is a democratic state but the city is progressive the rest of the state is old school democrats.
