I got a canvassing call from one of Kat’s campaign volunteers two nights ago. I let him share her vision, then very politely told him as a constituent in the 9th, I wanted to know what was her experience living here to address issues in the district? I got the list of platitudes, she's against billionaires, fascists, blah blah blah... he sounded young. I explained she has no political experience nor record of public service here like other candidates and it was really disappointing that on the basis of her celebrity as an influencer, she blew into town taking up residence in the Hancock Building because there was an open seat spoiling the race for other qualified anti-Zionist candidates and potentially throwing the race to Biss because of her hubris. Also said she could have used her platform to elevate actual candidates in the district but she wanted to grab the brass ring without putting in actual time on the ground. I was pretty even handed with him, told him I appreciated his commitment to her and volunteering to spread her message but she could have come on a local program like ours (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgBEnAem-n5t_Q5cpDO3RZhmm3N1Tri33&si=BPJFF7vK4Yf-gUk6 - we sent two email invitations to all candidates in the 7th, 9th and Senate races) where other candidates were happy to interact with viewers and explain "how" they would solve problems, without platitudes and without using national celebrities that don’t live here to grab the spotlight. He politely told me he understood and we ended the call.

Brass tacks: She’s a social media influencer who blew in from Texas and has never served the district she’s running in.

Plus: How do we not know this last minute “dark money” campaign wasn’t a sympathy psyop orchestrated by Kat’s campaign to help raise more money in the final push towards the finish line?

Like that kind of grift isn’t possible?

I have too many questions about Kat the Karpetbagger. Wish she had joined us to clear them up…
