      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.

          You obviously have the time. Look at your involvement in this thread.

          I’m on vacation fight now, man. Flat out, I cannot run for the position. 25 years of age is the minimum requirement.

          All of your complaints are covered in her many many materials

          No. My primary complaint about her being out of district is covered by no serious answer.
