It is not my district, #1; I had received mail from Makki and I liked what she said and it seemed to line up with Trump. It did seem that she was not a big campaigner, seems like I was always waiting for her to break out, something like that.
The first time I saw Luna she was full of energy and right on point. Makki had run unsuccessfully and Luna seemed full of fire. 🤷 I have looked for more from Makki but, as you said, she appeared to have withdrawn.
I think your previous conclusion was probably correct: Makki was just too nice, unsuited for the D.C. wrestling match overall.
Makki was a door knocker. She worked very hard. Often alone. Luna knew when to show up for the cameras. Like I said, I helped Makki with her social. She did not have a SM team. Bad move.
