Our economy favors the wealthy. Congress has done little for everyday Americans as most members are indebted to  PACs & corporate donors. That’s why it needs working class reps like myself @kat223 @A_Lefty_Gamer @thecorpmex @SamiamaDem @margeholmes6162 @filafresh @MikeOkuda

It's forunate that Laura's opponent, who never ran for an office ,took a safe red district multi-county approach to her campaign: Spend heavily in the primary, rely on - latest district election, party leaders & home county GOP supporters to carry you over the finish line
