JF: Minnick, Simpson Put Idaho First

At a time when many Republicans believe their best course is to oppose everything a Democratic president and a Democratic majority choose to do, it is comforting to know that some are still willing to work across the aisle for the good of the country. Freshman Democrat Walt Minnick from Idaho’s 1st District has repeatedly shown he is unafraid to vote with Republicans when he thinks they are right, and Simpson continues to vote with Minnick’s party when he agrees with them. That speaks well of both House members from Idaho, and of the voters who elected them/ Jim Fisher , Lewiston Tribune. More here .

Question: Would you prefer that Idaho Congressmen Mike Simpson and Walt Minnick were more partisan?
