Maybe a vote for Annie Oliva should just count as a vote for the real estate group bankrolling her campaign and that group, if she wins, can just have the seat - cutting out the middle(wo)man.

Independent Expenditure Committees
Campaign Disclosure Manual 6
However, an expenditure will not be considered to be coordinated with
a candidate merely because:
• Interview. The person making the expenditure interviews
the candidate on issues affecting the person making the
expenditure.
• Photograph or Press Release. The person making the
expenditure has obtained a photograph, biography, position
paper, press release, or similar material from the candidate or
the candidate’s agent.
• General Request for Support. The person makes the
expenditure in response to a general, non-specific request
for support by a candidate or committee, provided that there
is no discussion with the candidate or committee prior to the
expenditure relating to details of the expenditure.

Wayne is correct, with about 90% of the funding for Annie Oliva coming from the real estate and property management industry, it essentially gives that industry a state senate seat. Though there is a disclaimer - Annie had her Broker's license revoked by the State as she dipped into customers trust accounts - so she's not a full real estate agent anymore! LOL
