[Lpganationaldelegates2018] Jen Gray on Josh Smith

[John Turpish]

She's not anti Sarwark. She's still working on his campaign for mayor. 

"They failed to build up a coalition or consensus or lobby."

Jen Gray hasn't been a candidate for anything, so I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. She has worked with very successful LP candidates, notably with Sharpe who has quite a coalition, and less closely with Johnson. 

I wouldn't call it a "fit" when the person is still planning to support LP candidates, especially when "support" really means something significant as it does with her. But what happened in her home state (ie McCormick basically forced to drop out of the gubernatorial race) probably does deserve a fit or two being thrown, though.
