I survived two days of training. Day 1 was SOS Election Law. Day 2 TDCCA Training and we met a bunch of the upcoming candidates. Kiwi gave @bobbyfortx.bsky.social a drawing she did while watching. Ps. I'm not a photographer.

I've been an activist covering a wide variety of issues. Schools, women's rights, LGBT rights, and Ukraine (I'm still a #fella too ) have been main focuses. And well I'm new to this but I'm fiesty and ready to go!

It's officially official y'all. I'm the new County Chair for the Coryell County Democratic Party. So I just want to say hi! I'm a mom of 3 girls. One of which is a little protester that you may have met already. I've stayed in the background politically for 20 some odd years.
