my impression of Lambert (the other GOP candidate) is that he is NOT interested in “social issues”. Former Speaker O’Brien, the more conservative choice, decided not to run.
Unfortunately, Garcia has no base. She lives on the Mass border in the corner of the district and represents a puny house seat.
was Salem deliberately gerrymandered from CD-1 into CD-2 because of her? CD2 is the part of the state I’ve campaigned in from time to time. An interesting area ... but very difficult for a newcomer to get any name recognition ... sprawling rural area with no central media. I think much of their cable TV is from Vermont.
If she is pro-life, great. I wish her the best. But an uphill fight for the nomination, let alone November. District is 3% Hispanic and them liberal-moderate rural Yankees are racist and do not like outsiders.
THe amnesty support is unfortunate. There are no perfect candidates and if there were, I don’t this district would elect one. She wants to repeal Obamacare and that’s the most important thing.
