She doesn't seem too bad, she has a history of helping union workers in nursing and janitorial duties. So she had a good history for organized labor
However....
SCRB Strategies seems to be a "for profit" political consultation group. Airbnb needs no introductions.
It's hard to say whether she took the money or not. While some organizations declare her net worth around $300,000, others report it around $16 million.
TLDR: So at least from what I can see in her past.
She is going to be big oil on issues, she is going to also have a lot of personal incentive to keep rental prices high, and she has a bit of a history defending labor. What that means going forward is going to be hazy.
Progress I guess... we got rid of the "old and white" in "old rich white" for our "representatives." I doubt we'll ever get rid of the "rich" part as that's the most important one.... :/
You were expecting Rosa Luxemburg perhaps?
Butler seems about as left-wing as one could expect in the current Democratic party machine; she’ll be an improvement on Feinstein. I was expecting the DCCC to push some corporate stooge from the Clintonian right of the party, and, while she’s not perfect, I’m pleasantly surprised.
