I've worked for a good amount of my adult life with people with Downs. Not a single one had what I would call average intelligence. Most were great people, sweet, and well meaning. However they were subject to manipulation if not protected from it.

From what I'm seeing, this lady is representing a very conservative party, and I worry that she is being manipulated and used by that party to SEEM like good people for letting someone with Downs in the party.

I'm very certain this is not a good thing. If anything, this is disgusting behavior by the party that is for some reason being celebrated.

Her Wikipedia page has a quote from her saying she wishes to be treated as a person and not just as someone with down syndrome. On the other hand, that wikipedia page mentions her down syndrome on every paragraph.
