Nancy Pelosi's successor?

Ben Ray Lujan, Linda Sanchez, Joe Crowley, and Cheri Bustos all come to mind.

Cheri Bustos is likely to run statewide in Illinois at some point...

Though leader of the DCCC, I haven't heard all that much about Ben Ray Lujan... we had disappointing cycles in 2014 and 2016, so not sure why he has been kept on, honestly. Plus I thought he was just kind of a legacy back-bencher, his Dad being the boss of NM politics...

Bustos has passed up on a Senatorial and gubernatorial run. Unless she gets Durbin's seat in 2020, I would bet she wants to go up in the leadership in the House.

As the announced alternative, I prefer Tim Ryan to Pelosi, but would be open to other options. If there's anyone from between the Appalachians and the Rockies (inclusive) with strong labor ties and a good position on global warming, I think they deserve a hearing.

If you want someone with strong labor ties, Donald Norcross was "president of the Southern New Jersey AFL-CIO Central Labor Council for 16 years," according to Wikipedia.

Roll Call: Crowley/Sanchez/Jeffries/Lujan most likely.

3/4 isn't bad, and, in my pre-post draft, I had listed Jeffries.

I'd like to see Tim Ryan or Cheri Bustos.

Bustos only gets in if Durbin pulls some strings.
