Rep. Dean Phillips bipartisanship tested by congressional realities His ambition faces fresh test with GOP challenges on infrastructure, voting rights. July 3, 2021 5:59pm Text size Copy shortlink: WASHINGTON – Rep. Dean Phillips has his limits, a sense of where he draws the line. Well into his second term holding a Minnesota congressional seat coveted by Republicans, the idea of bipartisanship in a polarized Washington is crucial for the Democrat. It is a lofty ambition with grim odds, and an ideology facing a fresh test with legislative challenges on infrastructure and voting rights.
