A tumultuous first year in Congress for Rep. Jake Auchincloss

Rep. Jake Auchincloss is finishing his first year in Congress representing the state's 4th Congressional District. The Newton Democrat saw an insurrection at the Capitol and took an impeachment vote against the president in his first days in office. That set the tone for a year in which he said he's had to struggle to represent the values of his constituents -- Auchincloss won't co-sponsor legislation with any Republicans who voted against certifying the fairly conducted 2020 presidential election -- while also advancing their priorities through the give and take and often bipartisan cooperation and compromise needed to move legislation in Congress.
