I’ve never heard of it, but a quick glance shows it was around before I got involved.
Also, it seems to be completely irrelevant. There is no front runner at this time, the race hasn’t even started yet and there is no incumbent.
I’m simply mad that an out of district candidate is trying to plant themselves into my district without so much as pretending to be in the district beforehand. She isn’t trying to really connect with the community, she’s just leveraging her influencer vibes to gather support with no proven record.
Influencers becoming politicians is rarely something that works out.
If she had made an effort to move here, put in routes and actually get involved with the community instead of just saying shit online, my opinion on her would be different.
All of your complaints are covered in her many many materials. Why don’t you stop astroturfing this comments section?
Also if you want to run against her, she’ll help you fill out the paperwork and start your campaign. Because check it out, it’s an open primary. You can run as well. You obviously have the time. Look at your involvement in this thread.
You’re spending your vacation doing this? That’s a weird way to spend it honestly.
She didn’t move there to run against Jan Shakowski. She moved there for her boyfriend’s work, before Jan announced her retirement. Then she saw a district she could run in, then she started her bid. Then Jan retired seeing that she wouldn’t be running unopposed. Then she posted the video saying hey this is an open primary, I got my candidacy up and running, red tape was a bitch, I’ll help you fill out your paperwork to run, and I’ll throw you 1k for your candidacy site.
You’re not arguing in good faith so I’m going to leave the below for others.
She’s trying to show that money in politics can be used at the community level and is foregoing large media ad buys like TV ads and the like and instead is funding food outreach and beach cleanup. Call it what you want but I’m happy that the tens of thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands are being pumped back into our local community here.
I think you might be best served to go enjoy your vacation away from a screen. Cast your ballot like we all will be, or don’t. I seriously don’t care as you’re very convinced of your primary position and I’m not going to reason you out of a position you didn’t reason yourself into.
You ever work for Correct the Record?

I’m on vacation fight now, man. Flat out, I cannot run for the position. 25 years of age is the minimum requirement.
No. My primary complaint about her being out of district is covered by no serious answer.
