Democrats Select First Transgender Nominees in Colorado and Utah
Roll Call ^ | June 29, 2016 | Eric Garcia

Posted on 06/29/2016 2:50:51 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Democrats in Utah and Colorado will have their first transgender nominees in the general election.

In Utah, Misty Snow, a resident of Salt Lake City, outpaced marriage counselor Jonathan Swinton by almost 19 points, earning the right to take on Republican Sen. Mike Lee in November.

Snow said her platform is inspired by Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders. She supports a $15 minimum wage, paid family leave and criminal justice reform.

In a statement after her win, Snow remarked on the nature of the campaign.

"While I’m not running on the basis of being a trans woman, my experiences as a trans woman have given me the empathy to understand the struggles of groups that feel that the American Dream is out of reach," she said. "I’m running to give a voice to the voiceless."

Running in a red state that is typically conservative on many social issues, it's unlikely that Snow could win in a race against Lee , Utah's junior senator.

In Colorado's 5th District, Misty Plowright handily won her primary to be the Democratic nominee to run against Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, who similarly appears to be a tough candidate to beat.

Thread is useless with pix.

If Mike Lee can’t send Snow home, then that would mean more voter fraud.

Both are named Misty? That’s a nickname or new name not their birth names, I assume? Unless their parents named a boy Misty, thinking that he would grow up wanting it be a girl???

So the Democrats can’t find enough real women to run for public office and they have to get men pretending to be women to run?

Misty Snow sounds like a name one of the hookers on East Colfax in Denver would use.
