Labrador Announces Re-Election Bid

“Washington has not changed me,” Idaho Congressman Raul Labrador declared today as he launched his bid for a second term in Congress. Here's evidence: The freshman congressman hasn't found himself a home to rent in Washington, D.C. while he's there - he's sleeping on his office couch instead, and returning to Idaho and his family each weekend. “I commute every week,” Labrador said. Asked how that's going, he said, “Planes are not my favorite thing - that's really the only tough part”/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.

Question: Have you been pleased/displeased with Congressman Raul Labrador's first 14 months in office?
