He had better press appearances, did ground work, didn't get caught up in some lazy messaging.

Rep. Crockett is awesome. She'll either be some executive functionary in a future Dem admin (hey, how about her for FBI director or Attorney General). Or make her Speaker.

She wasn't ready for this statewide race and made some early mistakes.

We now have an excellent candidate in Talarico who will give us an good chance at flipping the seat.
