This is your weekly reminder that many of us will never forget where you stood when this country needed courage and accountability. Instead of defending democratic institutions and the people you were elected to represent, you chose loyalty to a man whose authoritarian rhetoric and conduct have divided this nation and damaged public trust. You were elected to serve your constituents, not protect powerful political figures at all costs. Your refusal to put the interests of ordinary Americans first is a betrayal of the voters who trusted you. You may believe people will move on or forget, but many of us will remember every vote, every excuse, and every moment you chose party loyalty over principle. You have lost the respect and support of countless constituents who expected integrity and leadership. You were sent to Congress to represent the people of your district. Instead, you abandoned them.
