“Jackie Thrasher, of Glendale, is a former legislator and a retired teacher, a Democrat in a district that is now represented by the kookiest of them all, Rep. Carl Seel. Not surprisingly, Thrasher is a big public education supporter, something sorely lacking in this Legislature. She’s also all about building consensus -- a virtual lost art among the current Capitol set.”
