She’s been extremely active!!!!

She’s been one of the most vocal Dems pushing for release of Epstein files. In fact, she is known as one of the most active of all Congress in asking for transparency of the files.

She has viewed the files calling them “very dark” and has met and had meetings with survivors.

On top of that - she is anti-war. She promoted and voted for War Resolutions Act to stop action in Iran.
Co-sponsored Block the Bombs Act.

AND - she’s working with youth, She’s very active on social media and X pulling in the younger Dems to go to Dem summer school for high school & college kids.

(From X) - “Excited to announce that I will be joining @Jamie_Raskin and @NatlDemSummer as an official Democracy Summer partner to help educate and train a new generation of political activists and leaders! College and high school students, apply here: democracy-“summer.breezy.hr/p/c5d6840c7d04

She’s my NM Rep, she is an extremely active Rep -,right now she’s on the road traveling around NM meeting with constituents, she articulate and happens to be pretty too!…
