#SCpol #VocationalRehabilitation
RantWoman is not sure the opinion of a legally blind person from the other Washington is going to carry much weight in South Carolina but here goes:
Darline Graham has been the head of the state agency for the blind for a long time. She probably knows her way around SC politics really well and MAYBE around some dimensions of national policy better than people expect just from the fact of her being Lindsay's sister. Can she work across the aisle? We wouldn't know just from the SC = red state logic, but blindness is a non-partisan challenge. Progress comes from people who can work together and draw out the best in each other. (Don't tell the President in case any of this sounds too "woke.")
People who don't talk about Darline's professional life are being both sexist and disrespectful of the people her agency serves. But maybe talking too much about this will just make the President sour on her.
As someone whose first reflex is always to want more women in the Senate, Darline also comes across as a lot less crazy than Nancy Mace. RantWoman doesn't vote in SC but would still also want to see a good Democrat make a run for it too.
