IN 2008, almost 1000 people ran for the state house. Only 19 scored a perfect 7 for 7 pro-life score on the A.L.L. rating, combination of voting record and survey. (sure, only incumbents had the voting record)
She was one of the 19.

Too bad she did not spend the past 8 months on a speaking/organizing tour of western New Hampshire, from Keene to the Canadian border. A very tough job in the dark frozen months ahead. Probably laying the groundwork now for a more serious run in 2 years.
The time to win that seat is 2014, not in a Presidential year.
Thanks for the info, Pete.
So it appears that, despite some earlier votes, Garcia is pro-life. And with respect to immigration, while the issue rarely gets debated in the NH state legislature, she did vote to prohibit in-state college tuition for illegal aliens: http://votesmart.org/candidate/69075/marilinda-garcia?categoryId=40&filter=[’V’,%20’S’,%20’R’,%20’E’,%20’F’,%20’P’]#.UpV512S9Kc0
So it sounds like she’d be the most conservative Representative from NH-02 in a quarter century. I hope you’re wrong anout her chances in the primary; I’m well aware that she’d be the underdog in the general, but if 2014 ends up being another 2002 or 2010 in NH, she might win.
Doesn’t matter—after her amnesty the country would only be voting Democrat anyway.
