The cyclist who flipped off Trump’s motorcade is running for pub.. https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/ZQMja200Jc_sB-WgMtE_jsYeoAg=/1484x0/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/SA2VIFFV74I6RLSPFQKDTSLNPE.jpg Juli Briskman, the cyclist who flashed her middle finger at President Trump’s motorcade — and lost her job at a government contracting firm as a result — is parlaying an act of resistance into a run for local office in Northern Virginia. The 51-year-old marketing executive said this week she will file the paperwork to challenge Suzanne M. Volpe, a Republican who represents the Algonkian District on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in 2019. The county reliably votes for Democrats at the state and federal level, but Republicans maintain control of the board, 6 to 3, and Republicans have represented the county in Congress for nearly 40 years. Democrats hope voter hostility toward Trump, combined with a recent population boom and demographic changes, will help them oust Rep. Barbara Comstock (R) in November and turn the Board of Supervisors blue in 2019 county elections.
Well she already has her campaign posters ready :v
