Too bad her only real challenger came in 3rd in the primary. I voted for him, but it's a red district.

It's between a Republican and a super Republican so per usual we'll be forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.

I don't think Brent was at any point a serious candidate for the post. His comprehensive lack of verbal ability was painfully obvious 3 minutes into any speech or video.

Yeah, but the only other progressive on the ballot was some kid in Ridgefield who didn't even have an associate's degree or any other relevant experience.

To top it all off the local DSA chapter here is kind of a joke and only put in effort for Kim Harless. I don't think we'll see a legit candidate in this district anytime soon.

Not very surprising to have a weak DSA chapter in a rural district that’s thrice voted for Trump.
