She was run against John Carter for TX-31 in 2016. John Carter won, but it was a close 50.6%/47.6% — too close in my opinion, but it was a tough year for Republicans. She was groomed as that ideal candidate to peel off suburban women — combat veteran, trendsetter, and of course a self-proclaimed representative who wouldn’t vote in lockstep with Pelosi (LIE).
She almost won in 2016 and I think she is the prototype for how the Democrats are going to try to flip races. For some reason, that combination of women’s rights, “for the children”, veteran, self-proclaimed “independent” democrat is like the pied piper to suburban women.
Hopefully MIL will sway enough away from her, with her non-endorsement of her. 8>)
