What the question should be... (0.00 / 0)

is not whether not Alvarado is courting GOP voters (in a close race as her's you need to court as many people as you can to win) but what exactly is she saying to the GOP voters to get them on board with her. That would be what I would like to know.

Secondly, Gallegos, the "stalwart champion of progressive values" you speak of, "allegedly" endorsed Alvarado and his family is backing Alvarado.

At this point what this article contains gives me some discomfort, but not enough to discomfort to discount Alvarado as a good Democrat.

There, I made of few of your arguments for you. You got anything to add?
