Updated With Video: CA-26: Linda Parks Avoids Question Who She Supports for President
Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks and No Party Preference Candidate for Congress
Parks, who represents the Conejo Valley on the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, switched her registration from Republican to “no party preference” for this race. She also has been a registered Democrat. In the congressional race, she’s resisted attempts to pin down her partisan loyalties.
At an earlier debate, she would not say which party’s candidate she would support for Speaker of the House of Representatives. On Thursday, Herdt asked her how she planned to vote for president of the United States, and she refused to answer that, too.
“The reason I’m running is because I’m rejecting the model that pits us against them,” Parks said. “I am truly an independent, and I reject trying to label me.”
As, I said before, this congressional race IS a PARTISAN one and this will not play well with voters.
How does one expect a politician NOT to have an opinion as to who to vote for President?
Her reticence to choose smacks of political opportunism, no?
Update:
Here is video of the entire Latino forum from yesterday:

Dr. Cole This is kinda Linda Parks propaganda The other candidates are bleeped out Guess she is proud of her answer as her vote for Prez is private. She was NOT pressed hard as to who she would caucus with. We have the example of Bernie Sanders and Leiberman too!

Yeah, Nick you are correct. But, no other news sites recorded the forum and posted it. If you find another recording, let me know, please.
Linda is trying to play both sides, but I don’t think it will work in this race.
