Constituent Reviews of Maxine Waters
She really stepped up with the recent housing bill. It's about time someone acknowledged the crazy costs here. Still think she could push harder for tech regulations though. Overall a solid rep who gets that housing is a big issue for us.
Maxine’s alright I guess. She’s been around forever so she knows how stuff works which helps sometimes. She’s pretty solid on healthcare which I respect 👍 but I feel like she’s not super clear about what she’s actually doing half the time 🙄. Like I get why people like her she fights for her district but idk it’s hard to tell if anything’s really changing. Not the worst but not amazing either. 3/5 feels fair.
