I forget (if I ever knew) -- do you live in this district? This triumph of sentimentalism over rationality means my family being locked in, again, to being "represented" by someone who NEVER represents our values and convictions. I'll never forget what a robotic, lockstep Clintonite the late Bob Matsui was, how he utterly failed us during those dark years.
And now that black tradition continues in his widow.
I'd've said, "Want to be nice to the widow? Buy her a present. Then do something nice for the DISTRICT -- elect an actual representative."
Of course, as I said, that's the real depressing part. She probably DOES represent the district: a bunch of statist, whiney, valueless Donk-party-first dependents.
Not that I have any opinion on this, of course. (c;

Don't the Matsuis have children? When Doris dies the crown will go to the prince or princess next in line.
Nepotism sucks.
BTW: Where is the 5th district? I need to know what cities to avoid if I ever decide to move closer to Sacramento.
