Constituent Reviews of Chris Van Hollen
Chris is not helping regular people at all. Like what has he actually done for the economy or lowering taxes? I looked into his votes and they all seem like feel-good stuff but nothing that helps businesses or families. Immigration is a mess and hes silent on that too which is wild for Maryland. How do you ignore something that big? Hes just not focused on fixing real issues. Idk how anyone thinks hes doing a good job.
Chris is doing pretty good honestly. He actually pushes for stuff that supports housing and education which I love 💯. But why isn’t he louder on racial equity? It’s like sometimes they forget how connected this all is 🤷♀️. At least he’s not just sitting back talking about bipartisanship all day like some of them do. Feels like he listens to his voters more than most too. I wish he’d be more clear about where the money’s going tho transparency matters! Overall solid but room for improvement.
