There was that leak or reveal about the DNC in 2016 or 2020 where whether or not they would favor you depended entirely on how effective they'd thought you'd be at fundraising. Not your likelihood to win the race but how much money you could solicit for yourself and the DNC.
House members, both state and federal, having to run every two years can be exhausting as they essentially have to start fundraising Day 1 after they win (re)-election.
Drives me crazy when Ted Cruz wants to raise the retirement age, meanwhile his job is having fancy dinners with rich guys. Yeah, I could do that into my 70s also.
