Mr. Widen (Pennsylvania)

Widen appears as a named, off-camera roll-call congressman representing Pennsylvania whose recorded 'yea' vote contributes directly to a pivotal legislative margin. He performs a narrowly functional but narratively important role: his ballot converts private administrative anxiety into public relief and restores team morale. Widen does not act on stage or speak; his identity anchors the televised formalities of congressional procedure and stands as a discrete representative presence whose vote carries consequential, stabilizing weight in the episode’s political arc.
