I’ve called her office several times and asked if she has a succession plan and they all seem dumbfounded. One staffer did kind of giggle and say yeah I’ve been thinking that as well.
What type of person could primary her? I’m almost considering trying to do an AOC type takeover but I’m no young person myself I’m 60 I guess compared to her almost 90 years old.
I’m so sick of these old farts in Congress. Anyone know of someone who might run?

We have ranked choice voting now. That's going to change things. I'm optimistic that Holmes Norton is on the way out.

This is concerning.
If anyone, R White had the best chance to unseat her. I like Henderson, but she has next to no name recognition and doesn’t show much sign of wanting to mount a mayoral campaign.
It’s possible - although unlikely - that Racine could challenge her, although his brand has faded and it’s not clear he would be able to mount much of a challenge.
None of them can beat her. Racine is now seen as the guy who let all the young criminals go home for dinner. Christina doesn’t have the wit or charisma to navigate Trump and Congress.
It’s a shame Racine quietly disappeared because he should be held to account for the results of his ridiculously lenient, I mean “progressive”, juvenile justice policies.
Racine is a prosecutor. It's not his fault that the district refused to build morally defensible juvenile rehabilitation programs. That's on the mayor and council.
😂 Racine is a prosecutor, that’s a good one. He didn’t prosecute sh!t, every kid was sent to restorative justice or diverted or got a deferred sentencing agreement. There’s a reason the juveniles felt like they could do whatever they wanted and not face actual consequences.
