I feel the same way about my congressman, Peter Roskam. He's so spineless he refuses to even have townhall meetings, because "they always turn into shouting matches," according to him. Which, afaic, is a fancy way of saying he's too chickenshit to stand up and defend his positions in front of a room that contains people who might disagree with them.
I do have at least some hope of getting him voted out nest year. This district (or rather the portions of various districts that were cobbled together a couple of years ago to form the current grrymandered mess) has historically been red, but there are a fuck ton of us who can't stand Roskam and can't wait to start campaigning for whoever ends up running against him in 2018. Among other things, Trump is pretty unpopular in these parts, and Roskam has pretty much supported all of his evilnesspolicies right down the line so far (including voting yes on both versions of the AHCA), which is definitely going to hurt him.
Between Roskam and the Illinois gubernatorial race, I know exactly where my efforts are going to be focused next year.
