Are there any underappreciated US politicians who do a sincerely terrific job?

Tell me about a current politician who may not be in the press, but has made substantial positive changes for their citizens. They could be local, state, or national.

Bob Casey, Jr. is the best U.S. Senator Pennsylvania has had in a long while.

I keep hearing excellent things about Al Franken of Minnesota. His senior colleague, Amy Klobuchar, gets consistently high marks, too. Minnesota seems to be doing something right at the polls -- Michelle Bachmann notwithstanding.

Michelle Bachmann notwithstanding.

They can't all be winners.

To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, Michelle is not only not a winner, she goes clear through "loser" and out the other side.

I've also heard good things about him, though I'm afraid I don't know anything specific that he's done. Thanks!
