We got redistricted in 2013 and inherited a moderate Democrat from up north. I voted for him twice before he decided to retire and I went to the local meetup where he introduced his chosen successor. I liked him a lot, made GOTV calls for him. Possibly because there was a strong Green Party candidate, but he lost, and we've been stuck with Stefanik ever since.
