If you talk to her or anybody like her (young, idealistic, etc.) that is thinking of getting into politics for, what I think are her good reasons, please remind them “government starts local”. I’ve been active in NPB politics (not as an elected) and advocacy for 26 years and never met her. I’m seeing more and more “young” people (I’m 82 so everybody is young to me.) who want to “do good” and start as governor, mayor, congressmember. Few (there are exceptions) want to serve on city or county committees, commissions or public advocacy groups and learn what is going and on how the sausage is made. Most seem to want to start as executives.
Just my thoughts as I read your interview.
Thanks for what you do. I enjoy reading your posts.
Haaaa! l love this series. That said I do wish most of them would drop out and put their energy into backing someone who has a chance instead of siphoning off voters.
I think she has a lot of good energy but it’s misdirected. Idc about the random inaccuracies that others will nitpick at. She would be better off going for a city council or school board spot. She clearly wants to make an impact in her local communities, and she has a better shot of winning one of those seats. She’s smart, she has shown that she is willing to make an effort to enact policy. But I just don’t know why she has to shoot for governor. Go for a local seat where you can still do something worthwhile.
This lady is genuine and cares and that is a good start. Well done interview and we have to remember that the game has changed, since the United States chose in 2016 to go full retro
I stopped reading this earlier this week because I found her replies to be so naive and unrealistic that I decided it was a waste of my time. Cleaning out my email inbox, I returned to it and finished it. My initial opinion remains the same and I recognize that she is also sincere. But why on earth doesn't she start with some local efforts to gain some perspective. It's a combo of naivete and ego to think that she merits more than a handful of votes and even less money. As another reader suggested... start local and learn more than attending one college class.

It's obvious she's not a history major

Wow...interesting platform there.

I like her. She should run for office. But she needs experience first. How about Newport Beach city council?
