Supposed to be in a district that Trump lost by a wide margin in 2016.
This seat has had two Congressmen since the Great Depression...Claude (Red) Pepper and Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
Hillary won 59-41, but this heavily Hispanic district HATES Nancy Pelosi.
Shalala did not want to run for this seat and her heart is not in it. She was pressured to run and ran as to not disappoint.
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen
has represented the area. And the Republican is Latina (?)Maria Elvira Salazar & has a face for TV for 3 decades. Donna Shalalala not so much .

I had no idea she was running for anything. These hold over Clinton people are harder to get rid of than a contagious disease!
