I very much appreciate you sharing your thinking about whom to vote for. It demonstrates the practice of critical thinking we all need to use to make our decisions about who represents us.

Good analysis. Thank you. I just have something anecdotal to add to your endorsement. I had the opportunity to present on Zoom along with Biss. This is before he became Mayor. I remember how he graciously insisted that I go first out of courtesy. As a female accustomed to misogyny even in our blue grassroots environment that stuck with me. There was no pretentiousness in Biss. Just the willingness to make a difference. That speaks to his character IMO.

Thanks for sharing. I'm not surprised to hear this at all.

Well-stated, and I agree. Daniel Biss represents a strong combination of commitment and pragmatism.

Thank you for your thoughtful response, David. I agree with most of what you said, and that Kat Abughazaleh may have a bright future if she maintains her energy while adapting to certain realities.

I stand by my statement that she was "committed to attacking Democrats." I found it appalling that someone who never held elective office would tell longtime Democratic champions to "grow a f---ing spine." I greatly feared that she would get to Washington and be a godsend to Republicans by attacking the character of swing-state and swing-district Democrats.

First, show us what you got, then MAYBE you can comment on others.
