You can tell she's to the left of the incumbent because her name doesn't appear in the headline.

Also worth noting she's running for congress in Illinios
Specifically, IL-9, against the incumbent democrat, whose name is "Kat Abughazaleh's opponent."
She's not running against the incumbent, no. Jan is retiring after this cycle. She'll be running against a fresh slate

This candidate's skills seem to be in communication and I'm glad they are using it for good.
I hope this inspires a new generation of politician candidates that put action ahead of the politics in their messaging, because I admit that action alone without messaging means no one hears the good work you are doing and gives free reign to culture war misinformation and billionaire funded hate campaigns.
It has worked. Here in Vancouver, we got a city councillor whose day job is a dishwasher, because of their progressive vision and their concrete action over rhetoric to help people in our communities. He and an anti-automobile candidate beat out the incumbent party's cop candidate and the NIMBY candidates by a wide margin.
That right there is a beautiful woman
Shit no kidding inside and out
Knowing enough about the US this is probably highly illegal
Historically - buying votes with alcohol was a thing. Think 1890’s - 1920’s corruption - Tammany Hall. Probably how Edgar Allen Poe died - voting multiple times in exchange for alcohol.

This is HORRIBLE! We NEED to Make Sure this Person FEEDING THE POOR LOSES!
-Chuck Schumer and the DNC!
Kat's great, but her opposition to traditional Democratic politics is going to tank her campaign. The Democrats only want old, rich ~~conservatives~~ centrists.
It is nice to see at least one Democrat who's doing some real good, though.
I like to think the tides are slowly, but gradually, turning as more people realize how useless the democrats have been. I hope there will be more candidates like Kat showing up everywhere soon
