She got absolutely screwed by the redistricting.

She didn't do a terrible job, so I'm a bit unhappy about it.

She did great. She called out John and David out on divisive politics and putting people who have substance addictions at risk. She promised to stop continuing the investment in fossil fuels that’s destroying our climate and pushed for proportional representation to increase accountability in our government.

She would’ve won her seat. She had the best debate performance leading up to the election. She will be greatly missed.
