What hope does a progressive have of winning in the rapidly urbanizating district 15 minutes away from downtown Portland Oregon.

Hell yes queen, get that crime train built
Thank you, Southwest Washington. Serving you in Congress is a profound honor and a gift I will never squander. I'm deeply grateful for this vote of confidence in the work I’ve done to set aside national politics and represent our community in Washington, D.C. I will continue to honestly reflect the independence of Southwest Washington in everything I do as our voice in D.C. Our heritage as fiercely independent, loyal fighters for our community is as clear to me as it was the day my family and I decided to ask for the privilege of working for our community.
I am deeply humbled by the tens of thousands of supporters who stood alongside me in this campaign, the patriotism and diligence of my staff, and for my friends and family – especially Dean – who have extended truth and grace to me on this challenging road. Your confidence in my ability to do this work and do it well has carried me through many long plane rides.
I wasn’t recruited to run for this position by any Respected Politicians – quite the opposite. Instead it has always been my friends and family who have held me to a high standard and been a compass to me. I’m so grateful for the moral bulwark and pragmatism of Southwest Washingtonians who stand with me in refusing corporate PAC money, funding our campaign with their hard-earned money. Thank you all for having my back even when we may disagree on the specifics -- it means the world to me.
Some far-away pundits and prognosticators swore I would lose this re-election campaign from the moment I took office. They dismissed our victory in 2022 as a fluke or an accident, and scoffed at the possibility that someone from the trades, the mom of a toddler, who didn’t have elected experience could effectively fight for her community in Congress, much less win re-election after being targeted as the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent in the country.
But like two years ago, pundits made a fundamental mistake by viewing this race through a partisan lens. Our community has never seen ourselves this way, and it’s not how we evaluate who merits our vote for Congress. We want representatives who know and love our land, woods, and rivers on an intimate level, scotch broom and all. We want real work, real accountability and honesty about where our assets and vulnerabilities hold fast. This community was built by loggers with two-man misery whips, from trees too big to be felled alone. Today, the work in front of us is how we pass forward that gift, that spirit of cooperation to the next generation, to the kids I see in my son’s preschool class in Skamania County. It's almost laughable to me that national pundits could understand the gift and the depth of independence our heritage endows us with.

Colorado and Washington are the only good states
It’s so dumb that “latinx” convinced people to vote for Trump. Utterly retarded. It’s a complete non issue.

Just so transparent how these propagandists lie on here. California isn’t done counting. Half the country isn’t done counting. Kamala is gonna get more than 64m (already up to 67m)
Everyone knows. Everyone. It's obvious, undeniable, outrageous. We know what they did, we know why they did it, and we know that they'll never be punished for it.

Meanwhile the incessant bigotry targeting half the country y’all churn out every fucking day got y’all a win. Fuck this dumb ass country
