That's not what we need, and such a narrow and focused approach to her worldview is especially offputting. She'll get the message quickly from republicans I think, that someone whose primary career achievement is appropriating tax dollars is not the opponent to McNerney we want, rather someone who will get gov. out of our lives. There's at least 2 other candidates from the Republican side that fit that bill much better. Not sure why she is even a republican, as far as I can tell the only reason is she’s wealthy.

Helped get a billion in federal funding for the cause and fought for legislation requiring autism coverage in insurance. Not much in her bio to say what she's done or stands for that would make anti-government Republican primary voters love her. Interesting candidate.
