    I thought she was running for her mom’s seat but I’m glad she’s not. If she wants to run for local to prove herself then go for it. Lots of people follow in parents footsteps and it makes sense.

    That said, I fully support progressive Saikat Chakrabarti running for Pelosi’s House seat (against Wiener who is an AIPAC candidate…)

      Yeah California “STATE SENATE”

      It’s very easy to get confused about. But this is not a federal position it’s internal to California’s state government. I still think it’s a pretty big deal, not quite what I’d call a “local” position. But she’s not inheriting her mother’s job.

      I can’t wait to follow in my parents footsteps at the tender age of 59. Holy fuck, this country is cooked.

        Meh Adelita Grijalva is 55 and just did the same.

        Geriatrics are a problem though, I get it.
