Good job by Katie and her team. Getting her elected was a long shot and they pulled it off. Glad to read this. Does she have a sister in Arkansas?
edit: thanks to the folks that took me up on my match.

well I hope she still finds some time to get out and do some climbing. Keep an eye on what's good in life. Maybe she can get a climbing wall put up in the Congressional Gym

May run the risk of Paul Ryan visiting your crag and poaching your project. That guy seems a little sporty, possibly OCD prone too. Wasn't there something about 14ers? Privatize and pay to play.

Re Ryan's "climbing"--
how can he possibly do ANYTHING with his head so far up his butt?

I think it's safe to say that everyone wants some kind of barrier. Why not just rebuild, replace, or re-enforce the existing fence?

Saw her on FOX News the other day. She presented herself well and felt she handled being on a right wing program was addressed with tact and grace. Forget who the interviewer was. He didn't attack her and it seemed like a reasonable discussion of the partisan issue.

Centrists fear socialist tag will cost Democrats the House in 2020
The most endangered House Democrats in next year's election are wary of their more outspoken, liberal colleagues.
By LAURA BARRÓN-LÓPEZ 03/15/2019 05:00 AM EDT Updated 03/15/2019 08:36 AM EDT

The moderate Democrats who delivered the House majority want you to know they’re not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib or Ilhan Omar.
They haven’t all blindly signed on to the "Green New Deal." They haven't been widely accused of anti-Semitism. They aren't hungry to impeach President Donald Trump.
They are the ones on the front lines of the battlefield, defending Democrats’ House majority. And many of the endangered Democrats already see their outspoken colleagues as a potential obstacle standing between them and reelection in 2020.
“As we run up to this presidential [election], we need to show that Democrats, as a whole, are not socialists," said Rep. Katie Hill, who last November flipped a Southern California district that Republicans held for the previous quarter-century. "We’re not pushing for impeachment without serious cause and serious evidence."
With the progressive squad of Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Omar and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) capturing most of the headlines, the vulnerable Democrats are left to respond in stronger and stronger terms. The four liberals have forced majority-makers like Hill to distinguish themselves with voters and donors early and often.
“You have these four members frankly that were elected from seats that are going to be Democratic no matter what and represent a very small fraction of the party as a whole,” said Hill. “And it’s like they’re the only ones that exist.”
