Congresswoman Sandra Fluke? The former Georgetown University Law
student who made a name for herself by standing up for women’s rights —
only to be labeled a “slut” by Rush Limbaugh — is considering running for the congressional seat currently held by 20-term Democratic icon Henry Waxman.
“I’m flattered that I’m being discussed as a potential
candidate, especially for Rep. Waxman’s seat, considering his incredible
legacy,” Sandra Fluke said in a statement to The Huffington Post.
“A number of folks I respect very deeply have reached out today and
encouraged me to run. I am strongly considering running. I’ll be making
my decision soon.”
Fluke is now a practicing social justice attorney in Los Angeles.
Rep. Waxman, a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has
been a tremendous supporter of progressive issues, LGBT civil rights,
and women’s rights.
On Twitter, the hashtag #RunSandraRun is being used to fuel support. Fluke is also on Twitter, @SandraFluke.
