Briana Urbina

In 2018, corrupt conservative, Darren Soto, pretended he was a progressive during his primary battle with Alan Grayson.

Replacing Hoyer will be even more difficult than it was replacing Crowley but after spending some time speaking with Briana, I'm convinced she's got the makings of another great congresswoman, like Alexandria.
