voters would make a horrible choice if she were the state

Whatever. She was a partner in a small firm, then after a few
years suddenly announced she was running away to Mexico, flaked
out and returned just a short while later, and the firm BROKE
ITSELF APART rather than work with her again.

Leon's not just inexperienced, she has a very abrasive and
stubborn personality. WRONG for the SAO.
