Edit: Raul Is Growing Up
In his weekly Cheers & Jeers column, opinion writer Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune cheers Congressman Raul Labrador: "Beginning his fifth year in office, the Tea Party darling put his constituents first and voted to re-elect House Speaker John Boehner. That's in stark contrast to Labrador's behavior two years ago when he led a dozen fringe Republicans against keeping Boehner in charge. His seatmate, Congressman Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, argued Labrador had sacrificed credibility - and damaged his ability to represent his constituents - by alienating the most powerful figure in the House. Opposing Boehner again this week would have moved Labrador from the back bench to the broom closet - and taken his more than 650,000 Idaho constituents with him. Full column here.
Question: Do you agree/disagree that Congressman Raul Labrador is growing into his office?
