David Nagel, who said he’s endorsing her because “No. 1, she’s smart. No. 2, she’s energetic and No. 3., she’s very civic-minded. I’m very impressed with her.”

When you listen to people across the district, you don’t start by asking what party they belong to. You ask what they care about. People want to be safe, afford to live here and cool down the tone of our politics.
