Correct spelling should be a basic skill of any citizen, let alone a person seeking a congressional seat. “Third Distract” as spelled in her message is just that, a distraction!

And she can put out a video to tell you she’s running but won’t tell you what she’s about unless you show up in person so you can be fleeced for campaign contributions. Let me guess, higher taxes, abortion on demand, single payer health care, more government control over your life, expanding the federal bureaucracy…Let’s make America Venezuela this time.

Just another D lining up to lose.
