I don't care what her platform is. I would vote for her is a second. She is HOT!
ZitatFor the former Miss America who just jumped into the race for Illinois’s 13th Congressional District, the Republican primary might be, well, a bit like a beauty pageant.
She calls her opponent, an incumbent freshman, a “good person,” insists there’s no need for attacks, and says let the judges, no, make that the voters, decide.
“I view this primary process as being very healthful to the party because we will be able throughout the campaign to debate the issues that are important to the party,” newly declared candidate Erika Harold told POLITICO, referring to her challenge of Rep. Rodney Davis in the GOP primary.
“I think he’s a good person, and that’s why I think in this case this can be a positive primary process where we can both make a positive case to the voters about why we can be a good representative,” she added.
Harold, 33 and single, is a Harvard-educated attorney, a born-and-bred local and was a delegate to the 2004 Republican National Convention. She won the Miss America crown in 2003.
Harold, who announced her bid to take on Davis on Tuesday, says she has no problem with the attention on her pageant past. In fact, she says, it’s one of the things that make her qualified to serve in Congress.
And while Harold has problems with Obamacare, she has plenty of nice things to say about its creator.
In her health law practice, Harold said, she’s seen first hand businesses that are unable to deal with some the new health care measures.
“I have a client that is a hospital, and they were trying to figure out how the implementation of Obamacare would affect their ability to hire and what kind of services they can provide and what kind of penalties they would be subject to, and it was difficult to find the answer for them,” Harold said. “There’s a great deal of uncertainty and oftentimes it makes hospitals and employers decide we just don’t want to hire because just don’t want to deal with that.”
While health care reform is needed, she said, “the Obamacare act exacerbated some of the worst parts of our health care system.”
BTW, this is Don Rumsfelds old House seat.
