Jaime Herrera... more integrity problems. "Co-endorsements?"

.
I noticed a few things about Herrera when he was going for the appointment in the 18th.

I noticed that she had a tendency to grossly exaggerate. For example, Herrera told us that her 10 years of not living or working in the district immediately preceding the appointment process was the same thing as "serving in the Army." And now, someone who hasn't lived here wants to be in Congress?

Like she had ever served in the military?

Well, it isn't. And for those who never have served, to tell those of us who have what something is "like" is kinda offensive.

And now, having stayed out of the congressional race, this political opportunist is calling up all of the up all the people who have made endorsements in this election and asking them to violate their word by giving a "co-endorsement."

Endorsements generally aren't all that. After all, people have endorsed Herrera and she's turned out to be a Barbie doll rep... someone who wouldn't hire Richard Curtis's late legislative assistant because she was "too old."

And now, she's going around and calling people, asking them to break their word?

That's the kind of integrity we DON'T need in Congress, or anywhere else in elective office.

Giving the appointment to this opportunist was a mistake. Supporting her egotistical run for Congress is an even worse mistake.
