Conflict avoidance. How does one conduct a town hall meeting on the phone?

Has she or her staff called Eric Hogue yet? He does the Sacramento Hour(12-1) weekdays on 1380AM. He's had an invite out to her for some time now (reminds of Letterman's invitation to Ophra).

Her husband was a mealy-mouthed politician who could speak and virtually said nothing. This family 'tradition' needs to stop.

Surely, a Japanese with half a brain could step-up and relieve this 'family' of the burden of representing a huge chunk of Sacramento so poorly.

In fact, a 'thinking' member from Japan would be a welcome addition to the issues facing Sacramento, not to mention a welcomed relief.

This old woman can't even make change at the grocery store.

Yes, unfortunately, she's MY rep right here in Sacramento.

She cannot be beat. In her district there are AT LEAST 100,000 state, county and municipal workers...and I don't think that includes teachers and other union workers.

The entire district has a population of "around" 450,000. Figure at least 10% illegals.

She'll hold the seat until she dies or retires. Then, the next dim will take her place.
