This. Today's city council member could be tomorrow's mayor. Today's Mayor could be tomorrow's state rep or state senator. Today's Governor could be tomorrow's president. If you want quality candidates, they have to start somewhere.
If you want our politics to change, it is IMPERATIVE that you become a different kind of voter:
1) become an OBSESSIVE primary, local & off-cycle voter
2) research every candidate and don’t rely on what commercials tell you about them
3) show up at events where candidates speak & debate

What's up, friends! I'm raising funds to help my sister. She's looking for work but it's been a struggle. She's also raising a teenage son and just trying to keep her head above water. If 460 folks donate $20, the fundraiser would reach its goal. But any donation & boost is a blessing. Thank you. ❤️
