A viral photo taken in the fall of 2017 shows a cyclist flipping off Donald Trump’s presidential convoy. The image cost Juli Briskman, the cyclist, her job.

Two years later, Briskman has jumped headfirst into politics and is running for local office.

Night has begun to fall in Loudoun County, Virginia, and the growing shadows on Kartar Khalsa’s front porch make it difficult for him to recognize the friendly blonde woman going door to door, handing out leaflets ahead of the November 5 local elections.

“Oh, she’s the one who flipped the president?” asked the turbaned yoga teacher, once the Democratic candidate had moved on to his neighbor’s house.
