Even though he's not in my state I very much appreciated him concentrating on his district rather than accepting invitations to appear on some of the national political programs. I can't say I followed him closely but I am aware of his background and he appears to be everything one would want in someone who represents them.
While the Dems don't have a clear consolidated message or standard-bearer, they have a lot of enthusiasm and qualified/appealing potential candidates ready to jump in the ring.
Neither Jones nor Lamb is someone who can be counted on to vote with the majority of Dems on every policy (Jones has already proven that).
They both focused on their campaigns and how they'd represent their constituents' best interests, not on smears against their competitors or anti-Trump platforms. Good on them.
