And Washoe wasn’t just any county. It was a swing district in a swing state.
For that reason, Andriola’s hyperlocal primary had taken on national importance. Washoe County’s longest-serving commissioner, Jeanne Herman, was one of the first & only local commission members in the country to vote against #certifying #Biden’s win in 2020, “because the election was improper,’’ she told me. She was outvoted at the time by the 4 other commissioners.
