For someone who’s spent the last few years trying to modernize the House and how it operates, Rep. Derek Kilmer sounds surprisingly upbeat.
“The work isn’t done,” the Washington Democrat said in an interview this week. “There are more good ideas out there.”
Kilmer launched a congressional caucus Thursday to keep the rallying cry alive: Fix Congress. It means reuniting with Republican Rep. William R. Timmons IV of South Carolina, his former colleague on the now-defunct Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress.
