3. District becoming more liberal.

Used to be very safe republican, but now moderate democrats can win there. He made a statement on protecting school kids, don't know the gist of it. Maybe doubts about what he represents?

2. His district.

Has a lot of retirees, big 65+ percentage. But the western part of his district is becoming more democratic.
