OP
With Lieu and Schiff endorsing her, she is definitely the best candidate in the race.

(145,176 posts)3. I like Christy Smith
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)4. She seems to be an excellent choice to fill the seat.
She has paid her dues, running for and carrying out the duties in lower elected government jobs. She seems short of physical stature like Babara Boxer is, and she seems to have all of Boxer's political instincts.
