on Brent Welder's supporter Glenn Greenwald's part.. and his bunch.
That's interesting to know that Sharice came to Welder's defense!
Would he come to hers?

I've learned to tune some of these people out and focus on how the candidates behave.

guy on DU.. keeping us informed on races around the country.
I'm new and when I see a tweet with blatant hypocrisy.. I've been calling it out which is refreshing to me.

I hope it helps get her name out there more..
The Stars endorsement is based in part on Davids policy positions. They fit comfortably within the partys traditional platform expanded access to health care, common-sense gun legislation, support for schools and families and opposition to tax giveaways for the wealthy.
But all the candidates in the Democratic field share similar views on the issues. That means voters must look to experience, intelligence, temperament and life history to make their choice.

On these terms, Davids, 38, is clearly the best candidate in the field.
Davids was raised by a single mother. She attended Johnson County Community College and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
She earned a law degree from Cornell. After working here as a private attorney, she accepted an economic development job on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
In 2016, she was named a White House Fellow. When that service ended, she returned to Kansas to practice law.
