It wasn't much of a supporter list to begin with. Another unremarkable Rhode Island politician trying to move to DC without much to recommend her. A backbencher like Langevin in the making.

Not sure what your constant gripes are with Langevin. While I didn't agree with all of his positions, I knew him as an honorable man focused on his constituents. Not sure I would hold Matos up to that stature.



But with that said, in this day and age I would take a backbencher over an activist any day of the week.

Even if you think Langevin "focused on his constituents" why would believe Matos doesn't do the same? Do you know something we don't?

If she does, I have yet to hear of or be convinced of such. Do "you" know something we don't?

When we assure our politicians that it's enough to be elected that they simply color themselves Red or Blue, we get the government we deserve. And it ain't pretty.

I do know she's quite popular at the local level. In my experience when a politician is well liked without a particularly sparkling personality or strong apparent leadership skills, it usually means he/she takes care of constituents to some degree.
