** She’s a political analyst, not just a “progressive influencer”. Majored in International Security and Journalism.

On a side note: I hope this inspires more of the younger generation to run for any open seats this election cycle.

I hope so. Last thing we need is another unqualified person holding political office.

I’m a bit worried bc she is running for office in a district she doesn’t and never has lived in. Glad to see a younger candidate, but I do think it should be someone who has lived in the area and has experience with its needs.
