she's just . . . I don't know why Congresswoman Underwood doesn't get more national press? she's an honest-to-goodness star in the democratic party.
Practical, effective, excellent communicator representing a swig district. perfectly tuned and timed to the needs of her district. Running a great office.
Doing Federally effective work at home and in Washington.
Getting bills signed as a freshman.
She's a star, she's an absolute star.

For this committed, mature woman, It was never about hiring a PR Co for likes on a media page nor enriching herself monetarily.
Wish we had a dozen more like Congresswoman Lauren Underwood.

(17,376 posts)She is vulnerable to a bad or possibly even a neutral year nationally for Democrats in that district as it is currently constructed.

(509 posts)Like a lot of other members of Congress. She is a dedicated, professional public servant who is not in her job just to get Twitter followers. She doesn't go around spouting off at the mouth and saying outlandish things so she can get attention. She doesnt' crave having a mic in front of her face. We need more people like her in our party, that's for sure. Too many members of Congress, especially nowadays, are all about getting Twitter followers and mentions on social media. This is what they live for. It's really a pity.

She is smart, dedicated and enthusiastic about working for the people. Lover her! She was highlighted in a documentary 'Surge' that focused on female candidates last year, check it out.
