The controversy surrounding her past social media posts has been a recurring flashpoint in the race, testing whether voters are willing to look past her past rhetoric. Avila Chevalier’s defense of her positions has been consistent, but her refusal to engage with critics has raised questions about her ability to represent her constituents.
