Naming names

I'm working on updating Centrist Coalition's "Candidate Profiles" list. I've got a list of several senators and several governors that I need to draft profiles for, but this list is pretty thin on U.S. representatives and state political figures.

So, how about it? Do you all have any U.S. representatives that you think are marvelous centrists that you think we should profile? What about politicians at your individual state levels? Can I get some names out of you? And if you're a Plains Stater, a Mountain Stater, a Texan, an Alaskan, or a Hawaiian, I'd doubly love to hear from you!

From Arizona. First the obvious: John McCain US Senator. Others: Gov. Janet Napolitano, Democrat. Possibly Jim Kolbe Republican Rep from Tucson, Now probably out of the limelight would be ex-gov Bruce Babbitt, Dem

From Nebraska--Sen. Chuck Hagel, a true
internationalist from an isolationist state.

Babbitt? Is that the same guy who was Sec. of the Interior under Clinton?

Are you looking for elected officials only?

I think Michael Leavitt, the current EPA administrator is pretty moderate guy. He leans right, obviously, but he's not an extremist IMO.

Jason;
Yes, that's the same Babbitt. That didn't end well for him. He also ran for Pres. in '92 and was one of the few (if any) to talk about realistic budgetting. Also, as a westerner he seems to have a healthy skepticism of Washington.
