Appears the easiest way to get famous without being at a high seniority level, or doing something historical, or without doing something stupid(like gaetz did) (i.e prosecuting at an impeachment trial) is to go to the far political extreme of your party. Shout out to Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheneyfor being the only ones who don't fit this criteria that I know of.
And Cheney and Kinzinger are known for criticizing that other people went to the extremes of their party (plus for being a former VP's daughter i Cheney's case).
