Koch’s Americans for Prosperity is going hard for this junior Congresswoman. Clear that the Koch’s want an issue that isn’t pro-life or pro-Trump to attract swing voters during the midterms?
She’s very smart, here’s the quote to end all quotes: ““It’s American, it’s uniting,” Mace says. “There are three things that really bring people together—animals, Britney Spears and cannabis. Those are the three things I've found that have struck a chord with the American people and that can bring people together at the dinner table—just like apple pie.” From a purple swing district in SC.
Rachel: If I were Scott Sifton or any of the Dem Sen candidates, I’d endorse this bill right now and blow it up all over my social. Go to SC and talk to her about it. This is Missouri, etc.
