Oops.[edit]

My edit summary should have said "Remove information about Burke's father (not about Burke)." 99.105.8.27 (talk) 17:04, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Campaign positions[edit]

I removed campaign positions from the article. They look rather irrelevant today. If others prefer, they can possibly be retained in a shortened format, but they need to note past tense. WondermentDaily (talk) 14:23, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cheerleading[edit]

Parts of this "bio" sound more like a cheerleading campaign. "Burke is active in her community, giving time and resources." The whole section seems to be campaign material. Is there any proof that any of these alleged "volunteer" positions are current? So many politicians claim they are doing/have done X when it's something they do a few times a year if at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.166.167.84 (talk) 15:47, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is so, please add the appropriate cleanup template. Thank you. Opalzukor (talk) 15:58, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
