A Question [View all]

Q: Who do you think is providing the type of leadership in the Democratic Party that you favor? There is no “right” or “wrong” answer. It may be more than one person. This includes those in the House of Representatives, the Senate, or someone not currently in office. My picks are Jasmine Crockett and AOC.

Thank you.
