Sen. Collins sets example for others to follow

“Year in, year out, no senator has matched her devotion to constructing bipartisan legislation in the interest of getting things done for her constituents and our country.” That’s what Dan Diller, the nonpartisan Luger Center had to say about our senator, Susan Collins, when announcing that she has again ranked as the most bipartisan member of the Senate for the eighth year in a row.
While many in Washington talk of working across the aisle, Sen. Collins actually does the work. Across our nation, Americans consistently say they want their elected officials to work together, to set aside partisanship for the greater good. Yet fewer and fewer in Congress have the courage to do what is necessary to meet this expectation. And thus, we continue to see debates about things like ending the filibuster in the Senate.

UP: To those who donated during the annual Give Local MOV event last week, pushing some nonprofits to even higher numbers than in last year’s event. During a time when we are more in need than ever of the services provided by these groups, it is encouraging to know the community is there to lend them support. Thank you, folks.
UP: To both U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., and U.S. Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va. 1st, for being among the top ten members of Congress willing to work across party lines to get the job done for Mountain State residents. “Although partisan combat between the parties and their leaderships reached new lows during the 116th Congress, individual members of Congress worked on legislation with their opposing party counterparts with surprising frequency,” said Lugar Center Policy Director Dan Diller. It is good to know a couple of members of the West Virginia delegation are among the best at doing so.
