(106,246 posts)Yes, she has recovered a LOT of function, but I see the intense concentration in her face as she attempts public speaking and other activities. She does a lot with their gun control advocacy already. I doubt she could do public appearances multiple days in a row. Severe brain injuries are like that and it is a miracle that she survived.
I'd be very surprised if she would consider doing so, but of course, she'd be someone I'd fully support even though I couldn't vote in an AZ election.

(8,617 posts)In 2012, Giffords would have ran for the US Senate against Jeff Flake-R. The Gabby Giffords-D vs Jeff Flake-R US Senate Election matchup would be interesting to watch. Were there more Romney/Giffords voters or Obama/Flake voters.
