If you're looking to further improve the article, her predecessor and successor could be added to the infobox, and a personal life section (maybe with husband, kids, non-political stuff) could be added (if you can find information for either of those). Not a problem if you can't. Earwig returned nothing, and I don't have any problems. Giving the tick with preference to ALT1, as that is mentioned in the lead and is a more shocking and counterintuitive fact at surface level. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 05:47, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
