Troye is running for what will be the new 7th district. I’m currently in the 11th district, represented by Walkinshaw. The 11th will be encompassed under the 7th if the redistricting is approved.

I’ve heard Olivia Troye speak a number of times on various shows. She comes across as intelligent, reasonable, and down to earth. But she is a former Republican, so I’m not sure that she can be trusted. As an aside, that woman cannot catch a break when being photographed.
