Members of the House of Representatives serve a fixed term of 2 years. Nancy is in her 20th term. That means she had people vote for her for roughly 40 years.

This suggests that US drinking water systems still contain a significant amount of lead.

It's indicative of our primary system and how the major parties operate. Mitch McConnell is another good example of this. Same with Feinstein, and even RBG. Bernie Sanders is still in his seat. He's too old even if people like him. Pass the torch or watch it fall.
