Just to be professional: what I said about Herrada appears anecdotal. Here is a report from a local journalist, Martina Guzman, on this subject. Guzman wrote it in 2008 when Tlaib was first running for office:

“Although Tlaib has inspired a faithful following, not everyone in the Latino stronghold is excited about the young Palestinian attorney running for office. Local resident and community activist, Elena Herrada says the district is predominantly Mexican, and a Latina like former State Representative Belda Garza should hold that seat. Garza was the first Latina elected to the Michigan legislature in 1998 and served two terms before losing to current State Representative Steve Tobocman in 2002.”
This still sounds as if Herrada was/is mild on the subject, but she is not. She hasn’t changed her mind and her [[small) following always starts in on this.
