Maria Chapelle Nadal is quite impressive this cycle:
She received the support of many of the women in her district because she is a fairly articulate backer of reproductive rights and was a Super Delegate to the Democratic National Convention. She’s endorsing the rabidly pro-life Mike Gibbons.
The criticisms, though, are a little weird. She dings him for cutting Medicaid benefits and approving a big tax credit for developers — things Koster did as a Republican prior to his party switch last year and bills that Gibbons, the senate leader at the time, also supported.
Finally, despite having $13,000 in the bank right now, has given only $3,900 to other House candidates such as $100 for Kirkton and Lavendar.
As she is known to say to others, and is abundantly clear, it’s all about Maria.
