my sister is running- how about a shout out to the downticket races?

[mopinko]

here in longtime red dupage county, there are dem women for every spot on the county board, plus judges, county clerk.

sheila has knocked on HUNDREDS of doors, as have all these candidates.
doors win elections. they have all been greeted by enthusiasm for having dems in races that often had none.

it is one thing to have a volunteer for a congressman knock on your door, but to have an actual candidate show up, shake your hand and ask for your vote? that is what blue waves are made of.

so how about a shout out for those running for these un-glamorous seats? they are carrying us all on their shoulders.

1. Those "unglamorous" seats are the ones that affect us most in our daily lives

always make sure to learn about them and vote on them.

I bet you are nervous. Here's hoping she wins!

6. Please tell your sister that if her name had been on my ballot this morning ...

I would have voted for her. Unfortunately, I live in the wrong county of the wrong state. But I voted for a bunch of women in my own state.

The heart of politics is local, and "un-glamorous".
