She's a Democrat. So I reserve the right to remain suspicious of her motives. Even Nanzi Pelosi describes herself as a Christian.
“By their fruits you will know them.”
If you insist on “knowing people” by their labels, you are showing ignorance, especially in a local (and mostly non-political office) like county clerk.
She’s from an old-line Democrat county where regardless of your ideology, you have to run as one in order to win (though it is transitioning). There still remain a few principled non-leftists holding lesser offices, such as Miss Davis.
