She is in a super safe blue district with a primary challenger that was a republican like 8 minutes ago.

Every time I see this, I'm reminded of how incredibly mad many people got when they saw an influential woman of color being comfortable in her skin and having some innocent fun.

That’s how you know she is winning.

I love her and only wish my rep was so dynamic.

I am old school,we used to consider the East Coast Dems as Conserva-Dems,which now are know as Dino's. Growing up in Wisconsin,we were the true Radical Dems and proud to be called Progressives.
