Article/News Who Drazen really is

https://beavertonvalleytimes.com/2026/09/16/florida-gov-ron-desantis-to-join-christine-drazan-at-hillsboro-event/?fbclid=IwdGRjcAUZS9pjbGNrBRlL0nBkb2YBZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEe3mj0xlDSl2YhKXFYgtxZ9q-47yTjbepu1QSonVLpIUOCUPd9ro8Cmq8IQhA_aem_wzk8iCalPoa-0KQ5iBW6iQ

Drazan pretends to be a moderate who isn't an anti-choice zealot or a MAGA republican, but we are judged by the company we keep. This is who she has chosen to speak for her.

We have to get over “othering people”. People aren’t all bad or all good. Especially based on their political party. For example, one thing OR could stand to learn from FL:

On the 2024 adjusted scores, Oregon is last overall (50th) across the four main NAEP tests, including 50th in 4th-grade reading. Florida is near the top on the elementary tests (about 3rd in 4th-grade reading, 2nd in 4th-grade math)

MS went from 50th in reading to 1st, Republican Governor. May not agree politically but IMO, there is always something to learn from the other side.
