Seriously fuck this guy ruined Providence's budget for years as Mayor and was rewarded with a congress seat and continual re-election. Continually failing upwards.

Not true. I’ve known him for years. He works his ass off and is a good person. The problems with Providence’s budget were decades in the making.

He didn't create Providence's financial issues, but he definitely helped make them worse.

He is a great representative though and did great work on one of TFG's impeachments.

I have zero qualms about his record as a rep. He advocates for and represents for the views of his district and the state perfectly fine. When we were looking like it was going to be a loss of a Congressional district, there was zero doubt in my mind that Langevin should have been retiring and not even wasting anyone's time running.
I think even Langevin assumed as much and that probably factored into his retirement.
