A conservative young Latina from Illinois is running for Congress as the anti-AOC.

Republican Catalina Lauf, 26, who is hoping to snag a Democratic-held seat outside Chicago, supports President Trump’s border wall, cites Ronald Reagan as an idol and hopes to be a counterweight to Rep. Alexandria ­Ocasio-Cortez’s congressional “Squad.”

If Lauf wins the seat, she would break the Bronx-Queens representative’s record as the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.

She sounds like the real deal. She certainly looks like the real deal. You can tell right away that she is not a dem. I am being polite here.

Yes, I’ve seen many candidates like this over the years that have been very impressive and would have been very great additions to the House (or other offices) - and they seem to always run in districts that GOP candidates cannot win. Although, this seat was previously held by a Republican that the current Democrat in it defeated in 2018, so perhaps she has a shot if she can raise several million dollars for the race - that’s one thing we are not organized at doing on our side - picking isolated races and “money bombing” them to make them competitive. We missed several opportunities in the Senate last year such as in Michigan - imagine if John James had raised $10 million in order to have a full media campaign starting at the first of September, rather than only having enough for the last two weeks of the campaign. That’s just 1 million people giving $10 on average, or 2 million giving $5. Doable - there are far more conservatives than that who could afford those kinds of small donations to multiple campaigns - if only we were organized.

“I’m the daughter of a legal immigrant,” she said. “We’re for legal immigration. That’s not racism. You should be a law-abiding citizen.”

Exactly the kind of person to make the case.

Plus, ella es muy bonita.

Actually, my laptop totally froze up when I went to the link. I shut it down pressing the manual “off” and it seems to be okay again.

I won’t go further. I’ll take your word for it. I’m a married guy in love with my wife, anyway.

Sounds like she may have a pretty good chance of winning:

Lauf accused the 32-year-old incumbent of not representing the mostly rural, traditionally Republican district that the Democrats narrowly won with 52.5% of the vote in the 2018 midterm election.
