This race is too important and too tight for us to weigh in with our bratty potty talk. And while we’re still a bit miffed about all those wealthy, wide-eyed Kim stans in Issaquah ignoring our clear and direct orders to vote for Jason Ritterhoofer or Riffenstoffer or Roosterbooster or whatever the fuck his name was in the primary, we are happy to back Schrier now. She may have been our second choice, but she was a damn close second.

As a pediatrician in Issaquah, she has literally been healing the children of her district for the last 17 years. As a doctor—and as a person with a preexisting condition (she’s got the ‘beetus!)—she’s had a front-row seat to the worst show on earth: the vaudevillian clusterfuck that is our health-care system. She knows how bad it is from the inside, and she’s committed to fixing it.
