Serious question -- why do you say that Mags?
Hunter served as a conservative Representative for over 10 years, following his father's many years in the same role.
He sponsored quite a few bills, didn't miss a lot of state congressional votes representing his conservative district (though his dad had a very poor absentee record), focused heavily on veterans (of which he is one), and supported Donald Trump strongly, especially in regards to immigration policy and bills.
A Democrat, Independent, or more moderate Republican Representative in that seat would have had a different effect in the California legislature and especially in his border districts, that's for sure.
Here's his congressional record: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members...ter/412283
