I have few people to complain to. My elected reps at the state level are Bryan Hughes and Matt Schaeffer. At the federal level, it's Louie Gohmert, Ted Cruz, John Cornyn and Joe Biden.
Cornyn and Biden are the only ones who are flat out terrible. They already can't get my vote and they both know it. Cruz is too much of a politician for my taste, but most of his actions are in line with his words, generally.
I can't complain about the other three. Gohmert could be a little too deep state for me, still need to check into that, but what I've seen so far has been pretty solid. Hughes and Schaeffer probably couldn't represent me better. Schaeffer is the rep who introduced the constitutional carry bill, for instance.
What's interesting about this, and it's probably very common across the country, is that the closer the official is to the public, the better they represent them. Gohmert and Schaeffer are my reps, and I'm pleased with how both of them are representing me. Hughes, Cruz and Cornyn all hold senate seats, and I'm less impressed with them. At the national level - Biden. 'Nuff said.
Top down, authoritarian control is always bad. Very bad. We all need to be fighting it, no matter which country, state or city we're in.
ETA - Almost forgot about our county Sheriff. That's an elected position, too. Ours was one of the earlier Texas counties to declare itself a 2nd Amendment sanctuary, so, yeah. No issues there, so far.
