Fresno Bee: “Rep. Devin Nunes’ big role in the unfolding drama between Justice Department and the Trump administration has drawn national headlines — and allowed him to collect big money from D.C. area donors. But the California Republican is also being dogged by accusations he’s no longer focused on his constituents.”

“Of the more than $1 million Nunes raised from individual donors, roughly $19,000, or 2 percent, came from people in his district, which includes chunks of Fresno and Tulare Counties. That’s the smallest percentage of any the eight California Republicans in Congress who Democrats are targeting for defeat this fall.”

1. I had the impression that the area Isn't very well off

and is more rural with a lot of farm land. MSNBC went there with Jana about 6 months ago and interviewed the locals. They mostly wouldn't speak to the "fake news" and the few who did had no clue about Russia, and were only interested in immigrants and water for their farms. They were very GOP but Janz was not deterred and is working on winning them over by discussing local issues.
