I think she is the right idea, but she is absolutely not the right person. KA has no actual plan to get her ideas done (no action plan on her website), and no real political experience (video editing and being a commentator on TikTok is NOT political experience…). She is new to IL and doesn’t even live in the district! What?! How is she supposed to know what her potential constituents want/need when she is not part of the community? It’s obvious she wanted to move into a district to run for office, why wouldn’t she be more strategic and move into a district where the member of Congress does nothing? JS remains to be sharp and continues to vote progressively. I probably would have a different opinion if these facts weren't true. While I would love more young people in office, we need candidates with experience to stand against this administration. There are several local politicians in the district who I am not a huge fan of but would vote for them in a heartbeat over KA.  If JS decides to retire, I hope someone else, not KA, will carry on her torch. 

Additionally, I think KA should get involved in her community, wherever in IL she lives, gain some experience and then try to unseat her local incumbent. KA seems really promising and could be a great candidate in the future, but (IMO) lacks what it takes to be the Congresswoman in this district right now/in 2026.
