(1,260 posts)3. Why are you surprised? She's a Blue Dog.
Actually, she was involved in a split among the Blue Dogs (with Abigail Spanberger and Ed Case) over a "rebranding." Apparently the name Blue Dog had acquired a negative connotation, even among other "moderates." They didn't abandon their right wing (a.k.a., moderate) position, being lackeys to the oligarchs and sabotaging progressive proposals. They just wanted to change the name. The story was in Politico, who love the Blue Dogs, here:

If you live in NJ, BEHOLD, your Democratic Party candidate for Governor. Aren't you excited about the upcoming election?
