Oh, and not just any convicted felon, but one who ran afoul of the law while destroying Puerto Rico’s public schools?

I see no path to victory for her in a Democratic Primary, but she has a right to run. I more or less have a right to ignore her candidacy. After this: Colleen Davis, state treasurer, announced Wednesday that she will run for Delaware’s at-large U.S. House of Representatives seat. “Raising three children here in […]
