I voted for Katie Dean on the first day of early voting. I agree she had a poor showing in the debate. However, Jasmine is a more experienced politician and I believe Katie will be a quick study get up to speed in a short period of time.

I like Jasmine but I think Democrats have a tendency to vote in the primaries for the candidate we like but not for the one that can win. I believe Jasmine will be far more polarizing than Katie. I can assure you Jasmine will galvanize the religious right and they will come out from under every rock to vote for Madison Cawthorn. We are going to need a lot of Unaffiliated voters to vote with us and I believe Katie can pull those voters into the Democrats camp. The Fire Madison Cawthorn group has endorsed Katie Dean.

I voted for her on Saturday, during early voting in Polk County. Katie came to a Polk County Democratic Party Candidate Forum. She was awesome. I really liked the other candidates (Dem Party) and will very happily vote for any of them if Katie does not win, however, Katie is impressive on every issue and she has really done the work of knowing the issues and her (possible) constituents. It will break my heart if this really smart, capable woman loses to any of the Republican candidates.

Thank you for your good intro to two dedicated women. The stakes are high. Are you looking at Democratic Senate race as well?

Deda, I have been impressed with Katie when I heard her speak. Then I saw her in a televised debate. She stumbled badly. I am inclined to vote for Jasmine who is well-qualified and comes across as very competent. Would love to chat about this!
