Because he is a horrendous congressman. I've worked personally with him in DC. I have also worked with his congressional staff. I have not enjoyed my interactions with his team. They are dismissive of constituency visiting DC for appointments and will not give you the time of day. This has been across two trips while lobbying for underserved patient populations from south Providence.

His representation during hearings is passable, but he has for too long been the pet project of Namcy Pelosi and doesnt have much to say for himself.
