Hey, Sema Hernandez actually raised some pocket change

Sema Hernandez may have the best overall ideas and positions — and maybe be the ONLY candidate who actually states all her positions — among the dog's breath of candidates seeking the Democratic nomination to face John Cornyn. (On stances, Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez is close but not THAT close, as to the degree I can glean bits of her foreign policy, it looks nothing beyond conventional. And, as a good leftist of sorts, I vote on foreign as well as domestic policy stances. She may also be the closest on how much she's actually told about her stances.)

That said, I have also repeatedly called out Sema for turning into Just.Another.Politician.™, for her endorsement of Bob on a Knob O'Rourke after last year's Senate primary even though he did NOT, NOT, NOT (he didn't, Scap) actually endorse single payer AND although many Our Revolution chapters refused to endorse him.

I've also called Sema out for misreading the 2018 primary and her results, instead saying that quite possibly it was about her last name first and everything else a distant second.

I, for somewhat different reasons than the likes of Kuff and John Coby, have also wondered, this cycle, why, if she's a serious candidate AND the first-announced candidate, she hasn't raised any money.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was wrong!

FEC third-quarter filings show the Sema for Texas Committee has raised ... $7,551.

And four cents. (Sema individually still shows nothing.)

But OOPS! (Update, March 4, 2020.) She forgot to file her final pre-primary report. And also forgot to file an end-of-year report before that.

Probably, after she finishes below 10 percent in next spring's primary, some conspiracy theory will be next, followed by an announcement she's running for governor in 2022.

Beyond her misreading the 2018 primary, as far as campaign issues? I think she's simply not that good of a political candidate. And, without money, you can't get paid help. And, her would-be suck-up to Beto and state Dem powerbrokers didn't attract either one. Which gets back to that second link above.
