As she’s campaigned in the Third Congressional District, Lori Trahan has repeatedly left open this question if elected: Would she back Nancy Pelosi for minority leader or speaker of the House?

Whether she’ll campaign with her, however, is a different answer.

Trahan is welcoming Pelosi, the current House minority leader, to a fund-raiser Tuesday in Concord, using the California Democrat’s name and standing to help generate cash in the closing weeks of her race against GOP nominee Rick Green.

In a statement, Trahan said she was grateful Pelosi is “once again doing everything she can to get Democrats elected in November.” But she said for now, she is nevertheless standing by her noncommittal position on future leadership fights.

“I’m not making any private or public commitments to any vote on leadership in the Democratic Party until after the election,” she said. “Our focus should be on winning the majority.”

Old, worn out RATS are being kicked to the curb? Ask Hillary. Sounds like discrimination to me.

Don’t be fooled. Trahan takes Pelosi’s campaign cash, so she will vote for Pelosi. The only way to prevent this is not to vote for Trahan.
