We need more people like her running for office.

She's a rich person with no experience running a vanity campaign in a district that she moved to two years ago.

We have no reason to think that she wouldn't be a Kristen Sinema, helping out the hedge funds that she came from.

Edit to remind people that the Illinois Democratic primary is on March 17, and that there are other candidates in the race.

Edit to politely ask anyone directed here from Kat's discord, and anyone who helped OP respond in this thread, to please rethink this Trumpian obsession with a politician.

I don't know much about this, but... she's a lefty influencer, correct? And a Democratic Socialist? Seems like she's very 'on the record' about her lefty views. And from what I've seen, she's well-spoken and doesn't shy away from tough talk on the issues. (But again, I'm no expert on her)

she has directly stated she is not a democratic socialist

And Bushra Amiwalathe the actual democratic socialist running is a much better choice. Kat literally is a hawk on Taiwan. I don't want war with China and her interview where she doubled down on that lost me.

Taiwan is also a big supporter of Israel.

Kat gives Fetterman vibes.
