That's because we do not have term limits for Congress and Senate, and incumbents rarely lose, in part because the national Democratic Party refuses to support younger candidates who run on more progressive platforms. I have asked my Congressman Danny K. Davis to not run again because he's 83 years old.
Danny K. Davis has been in office since 1997 and a lot has changed in American politics since then. He is not an appropriate leader for these times.
If he's your congressman, tell him know how you feel. He doesn't use his own email account.
