#RunForSomething2018
The calendar is fast approaching the one year anniversary of that awful Tuesday in 2016.
My idea is to make that day a happy day.
A day of challenge. For a Dem wave election on every level in 2018.
I would love to see a move here and on all progressive social media to challenge people to run for some office in November 2018.
Any office.
City Council, School Board, anything.
We need to start building and rebuilding our bench for all Federal, State, and local offices heading toward another census (gerrymandering) year in 2020
Who knows what great future progressive State Reps, Governors, U.S.Senators, or Presidents are out there.
So, #RunForSomething2018.
