Well, what you can do as a local Democratically elected official I think is things like that but also lead by example. You can be their Village Trustee who happens to be a Democrat rather than the Democrat who happens be the Village Trustee. I think I saw earlier you mentioned that you helped a widow out. It’s that kind of stuff. Showing that Democrats care about people and that’s honestly what separates the two parties IMO is how we might get some process. I mean I don’t expect your town to go Democratic overnight but maybe we can get some increases.

Yup, flipping this district or even becoming competitive here is a long haul, not a weekend jaunt. The trick is to get younger people than me to think about these things - at fifty-six I doubt I will see Nebraska turn blue (but you never know).

The Chicago #WomensMarch doubled the attendance of the Trump Inauguration.

Marinate on that.
