Um Our State Legislature lacks a hella more then that?

As at least half of the territory represented is under water I guess we need to ask the fish what they feel is correct representation?

She is kind of cute and she at least wants to represent something? that makes her head and shoulders above the rest?

"All of our legislators look the same," Fathi reflects after watching a recent senate budget debate. "Here they are, making ridiculous cuts, balancing the budget on the backs of people of color and the poor—people who weren't anywhere in the room—and I thought, 'This is embarrassing.' Then I realized: These are my people. I can represent them."

I concur.

Then I wiki'd

And it was slightly more complex than I thought. Honestly I never hear people use that term, I'm going to have to start listening more carefully.

PS I asked my wife how she felt as a person of color today, she said "very colorful."

Her ethnicity and her gender don't actually ensure that she's going to be good or bad one way or another as a legislator.
