Progressive Democrats aren't turning activism into election wins

35. That's how much Dr Dexter raised? If you read the article

I posted with the Endorsement for Maxine Dexter.. she's done amazing work as a State Legislature in that part of Portland, Oregon.

And, Jaypal didn't fare so well in the article because of her work history..

Among her closest competitors is Jayapal, 60, who until recently served as the Multnomah County commissioner representing North and Northeast Portland. In our interview and others, Jayapal has identified herself as the most progressive in the race. An attorney, she rarely bobbles questions and responds with poise. Those qualities are helpful if voters in this Portland district are looking for someone who will be focused on fighting rhetoric wars with Republicans – or even fellow Democrats – in pushing for a more progressive direction. But Jayapal’s five years on the Multnomah County Commission were remarkably unaccomplished. Even as the homelessness crisis intensified, she did not challenge the aimless direction set by former Multnomah County Chair Deborah Kafoury, nor did she distinguish herself as someone who fosters compromise among competing views.

I can't imagine why Elizabet Warren would not talk to fellow Dems who came to see her. But she's not one of my favorite political leaders.

That's as nice as I can be.
