Flanked by several elementary school girls, including her daughter, Medina seemed to subliminally invoke female empowerment, while promising to be alert to the needs of her constituents, if elected.
Attendee Rene Oliveira, who held the office Medina seeks, before being defeated by Alex Dominguez in 2018 after involvement in an unreported car accident with a DWI charge, looked more fit than in the waning days of his three decades in that office, an achievement he attributed to "200% less pressure" now out of office.
Dominguez may also be vulnerable on the issue of huge tax abatements for LNG companies, since, as County Commissioner, he helped push through a huge $370,000,000 tax abatement for Rio Grande LNG.
As to the LNG tax abatement issue, Amber Medina admitted she needed to "do more research," but would be concerned that any such company was in "total compliance" with all the environmental regulations and concerns.

No one supported Dominguez because of LNG, his campaign would have been DOA if it hadn't been for Rene Oliveira's arrest. Please Medina, don't be wishy washy on protecting our environment. With Space X test launching nearby, you can't put the people who live on the Island and PI in that much danger. Also read the fine print, the LNG only amounted to a handful of permanent jobs, not the hundreds they were promising.
