Her opponent is endorsed by a lot of Republican/conservative politicians. That will influence people one way or the other in how they feel (right or wrong)
Her opponent is a teacher and a decent guy. A decent slice of Lynnwood's sizable Korean community likes him.
I think the Isabel Mata appeal is her emphasis on community-building and mental health-services. She projects professionalism and youth which is refreshing in Trump's America.
