Not as good as Stacy Abrams or Elizabeth Warren I think. She is very valuable where she is.

Did you see her badger HHS into paying for the tests? She is fantastic.

I think she would really excite voters, once they came to realize who she is & what she does!

I love Warren & Abrams, but I think we need Warren in Senate & I don't think Abrams has the experience yet to step up immediately, if needed.

Just my opinion
Yes, he has lots of wonderful prospects to choose from! 😍👍😁

And this is government work. With 327 millions lives affected, we need to set the bar a bit higher. Next decade.

She is my Congresswoman, and her best spot is as my Congresswoman for now.

After that, taking DiFi's spot, I am all for that.

Amazing thing, SoCal hasn't had a Dem Senator represent us for about 50 years, if not more. Fucking mind boggling that an area that has the largest population in the US hasn't been represented by a Dem Senator for my entire life.
