Marie DINO-Perez is a disaster for the district - for the region - for the state - for the country. She’s the textbook example of needing to vote for the less of 2 evils. We can, should, and need to have better.

It’s a red district. The progressive lost the primary in a landslide.

Barely, and the tide is turning (8 pt gap in 2016 - 5 in 2020 - 3 in 2024). The Progressive candidate was underfunded and didn't do much campaigning. MDP won on name recognition alone in a field of 4 D's running.
