She comes across as very genuine. Her accent reminds me of time I've spent in MN and the people I've known from there.

Some midwestern accents, like those of Bob Woodward and our governor, Doug Ducey set my teeth on edge.

We've had candidates with very strong southern and northeastern accents which don't seem to hinder them.

Also, some voters will have a problem with a woman's voice no matters where she comes from.
