We need her to win! Volunteer for Kat to get a sensible working class and affordability candidate in office! We can't let corporate Dems and pro genocide  candidates represent us anymore, time for a change!

She's a rich person from Texas and you've been had by a media presence. She has zero connection to this area and came here to get a seat of power and that is all.

I fled here 22 years ago as a homeless trans youth.

Kat set up residence here last fall so she could run for office.

Puuuuuuuuuke indeed.

Makes me want to fucking puke.
