Hall letter: Incumbents

I can understand voting for change and the election of Donald Trump as president. Does it make sense then that at the same time, we re-elected Sen. Mike Crapo and Reps. Mike Simpson and Raul Labrador? In order they have served 24 years, 18 years and 6 years in office. With the congressional approval ratings of Congress hovering at 20 percent, returning these incumbents to office does not seem like a vote for change.
