She was frequently mentioned in DU posts.

from Wikipedia...
"On July 6, 2017, Hegar announced that she would be running to be the Democratic nominee for the United States Representative in Texas's 31st congressional district. Hegar won the Democratic nomination. She was narrowly defeated by 3% by incumbent John Carter in the November 2018 elections. Hegar said that she thinks the political leaders for this district need to be more reflective of the population served, and notes that the district has more military personnel living there than in 97% of the districts in the rest of the country.

In June 2018, Hegar released a short form political ad called "Doors" that described her career in the military, which included her being shot down in Afghanistan.The video went viral and drew the attention of celebrities like Lin-Manuel Miranda."

LOL! How quickly we forget.
