John Barrow (D) One of the 7 Democrats voting for H.R. 368

Has anyone found an explanation why any Democrat would vote to restrict anyone but the Majority leader from voting for a clean funding bill? Much less a Democrat from Georgia. I've looked and found nothing.

No Labels in the House. There were 81 last time I checked.

Like my own representative, he is a centrist and not a liberal. So he voted his ideology.

through the 'grace' of the reThug controlled gerrymandering in GA and barely won and doesn't want to lose it. Make no mistake, Ga is fully owned by extremists now and will be for a very long time to come.

John Barrow is the last Deep South white Democratic standing
