“I think they’ve all been successful local politicians, but what I hear from people as I talk to them is that they are fed up, they want something different,”

I wonder if these "people" he's been talking to actually live in CD 7? Most of the people I know here would rather not lose Ed as our rep at all, but we understand his desire to spend more time in CO with his family. Andy Kerr is my state senator, and he has an excellent track record in education, climate, women's issues, and even lgbtq+ rights. He's exactly the sort of person I want to send to Congress. While I am not as familiar with Moreno, I do know some of his constituents and they hold him in very high regard. 

Baer certainly has some impressive credentials, but I don't like to see him throwing excellent, hard working state politicians under the bus like that. Anyone who follows state and national politics even a little should understand that these folks are not to blame for our current frustrations.
