Stealth Republican. I can’t say this for sure but, since the district leans so far left that the Republicans didn’t even run a candidate last time, this individual probably just ran as a Democrat even though she intended to support Republican positions once elected. Campaign as if you have the same ideals as the voters, then turn coat once you’re sworn in. It’s been done before.
Why the Hell was the Democrat in a district like that anything less than super-progressive to begin with?

That’s a fantastic question
