Lake needs to be Gov, or some kind of lower elected office FIRST. She has experience campaigning, and she has experience fighting in courts, but still lacks any experience working in government at any level.

Which means she still doesn't know how to operate effectively when stakes are high and opposition is strong and compromise is always on the table. She's riding the momentum of being on the oustide and shouting with the bullhorn "See how everything is corrupt and broken, we're going to fix it all!" promises with no guarantee of outcomes. It's reasonable to me that she needs to get in the trenches and pay her dues,to experience first hand how positive ideas and policies go through the political and bureaucratic grinders, even at a state or local level.

She expressed a lot of amazing ideas and plans for Arizona, so it feels like we in this state were just a stepping stone for her building up this "bull dog" "Trump in a dress" reputation for the national MAGA ticket (if she accepts the VP route at this point).
