Justice Dems a great deal, after all she brought one to DC with her, and we may have been seeing their ambitions for themselves, not just hers, in her campaign behaviors.

But her life was already very busy after winning the primary and others must have been scheduling travel, speaking engagements, meetings, doing office support and, I'm guessing, handling social media and drafting messages for approval, though whose?

Now in DC all these newcomers have to set up offices and hire permanent staff. The question is, of course, how much influence does he still have over her policy thoughts.

Cautiously hopeful. Once she's busy on committees with her colleagues that will hopefully be part of yet another weakening of his influence. But his focus on IT is on using it to influence voter behavior on large scales, not send out constituent mailers. Her little district is far too small for him.
