Depends on how independent she is.
I have a tenant who is blind, and from what I can tell, doesn't ask for nor need help and is doing totally fine.
However, from what little I have read about her, she doesn't seem to be that conservative, and a bit of the populist government side, which is a bit of a negative.
While the lieutenant-governor may take over the job of governor during the term in office, otherwise it is a more ceremonial job; and looks like in Maryland lieutenant-governor is not getting elected as governor (contrasting with many more vice-Presidents successfully elected to be Presidents).
It's hard to say about her politics, from the first look now she is unquestionably articulate and intelligent.
