Ron and his team knocked on thousands of doors. Likely far more than she did as no one ran into her out there. Ron outcampaigned her in every way possible. She isn’t an ‘educator’ and never was but voters aren’t very deep down ballot. OC stayed red and continues to be a decade behind the rest of the country.
@theprofessorfish (Professor at UC Berkeley, Go Bears!) talks about this a lot. Walking and door knocking is one of the most effective things you can do, especially as a local candidate. Most voters have little to no information on local candidates and don't really seek it out. If they remember that you came to their house, though, they're golden.
"Oh, that nice Linda lady came to our house. We'll vote for her," even if they don't actually know anything about her.
Knocking on doors does get results. It is hard work. She is proof positive. I digress and descend into sartorial critique: the outfits she posed in looked more rural Utah than South County, but it didn't matter.
She sent her kids to private school. She doesn’t believe in public education

Sadly this election shows that didn’t hold true on the school board side. Normally ground game wins.
