And has said she wasn't going to run again, but then someone changed her mind.

Which Party does she represent?

I infer that she is a Republican, but why isn't that an important fact in this story? Puts a different perspective on the story, IMHO.

We think she must be a Dem.
Who is not voting with the other Dems.

She must think there is something so wrong with the bill even a Ukrainian Dem can't vote for it.

If we knew she was an R, we would understand immediately.
And would not be surprised at all the she is selling out her own country of origin.

You answered my question as I would have.

For reading my mind!

Just send the cash money part of the prize.
You may keep the trophy.

Not good at that, so I could pay you for a large Dunkin' Donut's (reg or decaf) coffee. Best if I send 4 bucks in the mail. PM your PO Box.

Do they have good coffee?

"Green Mountain" coffee at 1/2 the price, but still, $4 bucks is $4 bucks. You could probably get a 2 day old croissant with the coffee and pocket the change.

I'll take the recommendation of DD coffee as prize payment in full.
I pass by a DD every now and then but never stopped there.
Next time I will go in and get a cup of coffee.
Sounds like a fun stop.

If you need a coffee, they have one.

a report omits party affiliation of a politician in something not nice, they are an "r". Have not been wrong yet.

"She's locked in a tough reelection fight in the May 7 GOP primary"

That puts her more in line with conservative House Republicans and more notably with voters in her deeply conservative central Indiana congressional district. She's locked in a tough reelection fight in the May 7 GOP primary, made all the more complicated by her public announcement more than a year ago that she wouldn't seek another term, a decision she later reversed.

say about that.

Does she have any relatives in Ukraine.?

From 22 minutes in "The World Tonight" radio programme (live link here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_fourfm , or this might work after it ends (only about 10 minutes from now) : https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001yqv8

Then they interviewed her. And she's a complete nut-job. She claims Zelensky and Biden are "corrupt" and "idiots". She's spreading the Putin disinformation. And tries to claim it's nothing to do with getting primaried. Or that she's changed her position.

Got their Aid in spite of ugly Putin puppets

It's not a better political argument.

Is on the side of democracy, some are for ruzzia. She might be one of those.

Born in Ukraine, that is all. It assumes that because she was born there that she's automatically pro Ukraine of today. Many ruzzians and ruzzian patriots were born there. People come here for many reasons. Maybe she's part of a sleeper cell, you know?

That she's currently an R, is telling. I just think she wasn't really Ukrainian Ukrainian at any point int time.

but I think she came for a better life and someone convinced her to be a Republican with a nice salary and a script.

OTOH, I send this tune as I am writing this.

https://music.

You have a valid point, she could have just been convinced by someone to go that route.

She is legit awful. Really awful.

Those with an asterisk have ads. Haven't seen any for the others. They are all creepy.

He retired last time under a cloud of ethics investigations for campaign finance violations.

She is sickening.

From the 30's through the 50's. This to replace native Ukrainians, Tartars, and other groups found not to be loyal to Stalin.
She may have been born in Ukraine, but her family historically might well be ethnic Russians, and owed much of their relative prosperity in Ukraine to the old Soviet resettlement policy.

Haele

Victoria Spartz (born Viktoria Kul'heyko) was born in Nosivka, in what is Chernihiv Oblast in northern Ukraine. There is a significant minority of Russians and Belarusians there in the northern districts. There are many Ukrainians, particularly the older ones, who were under communism/socialism, but yet when the Soviet Union collapsed, it ended up being very difficult post-independence to find work because during Soviet times, there were a lot of them. Ukrainian culture was suppressed for a long time and it's only recently within the last decade or so that Ukraine really asserted itself as being independent of Russia. But again, Ukraine has been divided linguistically between Ukrainian and Russian for a long time, particularly in Crimea and eastern Ukraine, even despite the fact that most of the people of eastern Ukraine voted for Ukraine to be independent. Even now, politically, there are big divisions within Ukraine, although it doesn't seem like it right now. But again, since she is in Indiana, it isn't surprising that she would follow the GOP playbook.

and you presented a character that was a Russian asset who won a Congressional seat in Congress, and Rep. Spartz was your example, it would be rejected for being too obvious.

So not a serious person and should not be expected to act seriously.
