The bill now goes to the Senate, where many Democrats oppose it but are not ready to vote against it yet

Only one House Democrat voted in the US House of Representatives voted for a spending bill that Republicans passed to keep the US government open.

The House passed a stopgap spending bill, known as a continuing resolution or “CR,” to keep the government open until September on Tuesday. Only one Republican, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted against the legislation.

Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democrat to join Republicans in the legislation.

    I would say it’d be more effective to be open about not being a constituent specifically but being a Dem voter elsewhere with strong feelings especially if you’re willing to put an effort into primarying them.

      Personally I always prefer honesty, and I myself would be explicit about not being a constitute, but the flip side is that if he’s solely focused on the next election and keeping his job (which unfortunately most politicians seem to be), he really may not care about feedback from non-constitutes.

      But bottom line, they’ll know, either way.
