sabbat hunter

55. She had a chance

when she ran for the nomination in 2019/20 her campaign fell flat. We need someone that not only has an excellent track record, but can also communicate their message effectively.
My biggest problem with Newsome is his track record on transgender issues. He needs to get better on them before I would vote for him in the primaries.
