Party leaders in Washington just unveiled their lists of House members they plan to target in the next election. Both sides have made something clear: If you reach across the aisle and work toward bipartisan solutions, you become a target.
Many of these targeted lawmakers—like Reps. Jared Golden (D-ME), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), Don Bacon (R-NE), and Mike Lawler (R-NY)—are the very people most committed to bipartisan cooperation and effective governance.

This is a huge problem for America. Members who build consensus should be rewarded—not punished.
