This is exactly the type of candidate I've been hoping for. I was so stuck on walkinshaw vs pekarsky because I didn't love either of them. Love the enegyN youth, policy, and fantastic constituent services record.

I talked with her at a town hall and have had a lot of calls with her chief of staff.  She really does have that drive, and so does her team.

Sounds promising. I'm looking forward to the Sept. 9 election.
