To former colleagues and the disability advocates who have worked with her, there is little doubt in Darline Graham’s capabilities.
They describe the 62-year-old as a dedicated civil servant who is uninterested in the spotlight and deeply knowledgeable about issues facing the disability community.

Glengariff pollster: El-Sayed, for instance, is disproportionately relying on younger voters, especially those under 55 who are White and have a college education, and Czuba questioned whether there's enough voters in that category to overtake Michigan's older voter population.
"The difference in Michigan is our electorate is just so much older than, you know, New York," Czuba said. "He's got to broaden out his appeal. He's doing reasonably well in outstate Michigan."

Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, would be a fantastic pick to serve out the reminder of the senate term.
After speaking with Darline, there is no one better who understands Lindsey’s love for family, our state, and our country.
