Yo, the Socialist Agenda seems to be working in Socialist towns, look at the last name of the 2nd one?
Two transgender candidates, both named ‘Misty,’ win congressional primaries
He fits right in with the Loony Left! What a Man!!!
By Bradford Richardson - The Washington Times - Wednesday, June 29, 2016
Misty Snow and Misty Plowright became the first transgender people to be nominated to Congress by a major political party on Tuesday, when they won their respective Democratic primary races in Utah and Colorado.
Ms. Snow, a 30-year-old grocery store cashier from Salt Lake City, bested marriage therapist Jonathan Swinton, a self-identified conservative Democrat who ran on a centrist platform.
The transgender woman will now face-off against incumbent Republican Sen. Mike Lee in November. Mr. Lee ran unopposed in the Republican primary.
Although Mr. Swinton won the initial ballot, he failed to garner 60 percent of the vote at the convention, sending the race into a run-off. The unofficial returns showed Ms. Snow with a 59.5 to 40.5 percent advantage.
Ms. Snow ran on a platform of increasing the minimum wage and criticized her opponent for supporting restrictions on abortion rights. She played up the historic nature of her candidacy on Tuesday.
“This shows LGBT people that being LGBT is not a barrier to running for political office,” she said on. “You can be you, and people will respect you for that.”
No Picture Of The 2nd Loony Leftest:
Ms. Plowright was nominated by Democrats to the House in Colorado’s conservative 5th congressional district, which has never been held by a Democrat. She will run against Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, who easily won his primary bout, in November.
A 33-year-old who works in IT, Ms. Plowright secured the Democratic nomination over Donald Martinez, an Iraq War veteran, by a 58 to 42 percent margin.
Ms. Plowright campaigned on an anti-establishment platform, calling herself the “anti-politician” and pledging to get money out of politics.
