I have only ever heard really nice things about her. Like you, I'm a little bummed she hasn't gotten more traction. She isn't nearly as flashy a media personality as the other candidates.

She's just a hard worker, which is what we need, but it isn't what will catch voters' interest in a high profile gubernatorial race.

In a just world, Governor Yee would be a thing.
