The thing is, Jessyn Farrell has a terrific record of accomplishment in the state legislature. There's no legislator who did more to get the ST3-enabling legislation passed than Jessyn, and coming into it, that looked like anything but a done deal.

To my mind, she's far and away the best candidate. She's a real progressive who, God forbid, gets things done rather than just grandstands. I just wonder if that's going to be enough in our Kardashian-ized, polarized political climate where name recognition is critical and controversy is effectively a virtue.

"protections for pregnant people": You mean pregnant women, I assume.

@2 rolando74, Nope, "pregnant people" is absolutely correct.

Checkmate.

@3, I know perfectly well why the author chose to use "people" instead of "women." I'm expressing my disagreement with that formulation. Not sure where "checkmate" comes into it.

She's for an income tax. No. No income tax. No compromise.
