Я узнал о её существовании только потому, что дочкина школьная подруга работала в её кампании. Потом заметил таблички с её именем растыканные по многим лужайкам перед домами, что интересно с ошибкой - Mike Sherrill. Если бы не дочкина подруга я бы думал, что это мужчина. Сейчас прочитал про неё статью.
The Most Important New Woman in Congress Is Not Who You Think
Rebecca Michelle Sherrill: former Navy helicopter pilot, former federal prosecutor, mother of four (13, 11, 9 and 6)
She won as a first-time candidate in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District, which hadn’t voted for a Democrat in 34 years. She raised record money, chased into retirement a powerful local political scion, trounced a host of opponents in the primary and drubbed a conservative state assemblyman in the general. Sherrill did this by campaigning not as a left-leaning incendiary but as a less partisan alternative. And one of the most conspicuous ways she assuaged redder voters was by promising she wouldn’t vote for Pelosi for speaker. (слово сдержала и ничего ей за это не было)
She was not only a woman but a mother who helped coach her kids’ soccer and lacrosse teams in the suburbs, not only a veteran but a veteran who had been a pilot of an H-3 Sea King in Europe and the Middle East before becoming a Russia policy officer. A degree from the Naval Academy. A degree from the London School of Economics. A degree from Georgetown Law.
Будем надеяться, что будущее демократической партии это люди типа Майки Шерил, а не АОС и другие ультра-левые. Хорошо бы ещё кто-то умеренный выиграл primaries а потом и общие выборы в 2020. Но это только надежды. Разум подсказывает, что скорее всего будет наоборот.
