For fun, I decided to get a list together of all the non-republican congressmen/women, narrow the list down to my favorite 20, and then rank them. Here’s what I came up with.
1. Conyers Jr., John, Michigan, 14th
2. Waxman, Henry, California, 30th
3. Kucinich, Dennis J., Ohio, 10th
4. McKinney, Cynthia, Georgia, 4th
5. Murtha, John, Pennsylvania, 12th
6. DeFazio, Peter, Oregon, 4th
7. Brown, Sherrod, Ohio, 13th
8. Rangel, Charles B., New York, 15th.
9. Frank, Barney, Massachusetts, 4th
10. Sanders, Bernie, Vermont, At Large
11. Cummings, Elijah, Maryland, 7th
12. Waters, Maxine, California, 35th
13. Cardin, Benjamin L., Maryland, 3rd
14. Jackson Lee, Sheila, Texas, 18th
15. Inslee, Jay, Washington, 1st
16. Weiner, Anthony D., New York, 9th
17. Lewis, John, Georgia, 5th
18. Jones, Stephanie Tubbs, Ohio, 11th
19. Lee, Barbara, California, 9th
20. DeLauro, Rosa L., Connecticut, 3rd
Honorable Mention:

Jackson Jr., Jesse L., Illinois, 2nd
Note: I’m sure there are great reps missing from this list. But I don’t know everybody in congress. Feel free to start with
my list, rearrange, add, subtract, etc. and come up with your own list. Remember, this is a list of YOUR favorites.
