(34,109 posts)At least she is a moderate, probably called a RWNJ in other states but here she is a moderate. To be honest I have not researched her voting record. This is a healing time for this state. We have the most RW, awful legislature we have had for a long time but a Democratic Governor who is actually someone who is capable of moving this state forward by working with both sides. I know I will be less than thrilled by her moderate stances when this state is so already dead but I know Laura and she will do a great job. I respect her and I think she really knows what will work. I hope Sen. Bollier votes as a Democrat, I will take moderate left for now as we turn this sinking ship right side up. After that it is going to take some strong progressive acts to totally make it sea worthy again.
