We are so spoiled :) We moved here during Ron Dellums' tenure, and I was skeptical that anyone could live up to that legacy - and then, Barbara Lee, and you know that story.

I am confident she will live up to the legacy.
Of course, yes, she's new at this job, but a lot of people have voted for her previously in her other positions around here. Real Downballot aficionados - the Vote The Whole Ballot crowd ;) The trumpling a couple blocks down my street (in west BERKELEY) won't care for her, but I expect a lot of the district will be very pleased.
