It's risky business making her being trans the theme of her ad, but she might as well tackle the issue head on.  I wish her well.

It was Bob Marshall that brought it up, so it was already a campaign topic. Still it might be too much for some voters, but I don't think those voters would be voting for her any way. It is an ad more towards encouraging the base to come out and support her.

Hopefully her other stands on issues will now be able to come forward.  Pity her opponent will not debate with her.  I would like to see that one!

Looks like many are looking for a way to distinguish themselves in a crowded race.

Actually they are from the various voting districts in that county. It is a pretty large county.
