 From now to early voting (Oct 23), I’m grinding out the door-to-door canvassing. I want to knock on every single door before 10/23. I think going house to house and talking to the people in my district has to be the best thing about this race so far. Sure, it’s hard. But people have been really good. Many folks thank me for running; for wanting to serve. Lots of great discussions. I’m really glad to be doing this. Even so, I’m constantly tired and am going to sleep so well after Election Day. 
 @de63a1b3 Good Vibes, and good luck, Sir!

 @de63a1b3 that’s really good. In my city, local politicians get maybe 10% voter turnout and the city assembly is packed with mainstream “progressives”. I swear it’s because they have one person in their book club that is a political zealot that tells all of the bleeding hearts the talking points and how to vote so they can feel good about themselves.

Grassroots campaigning is the only way to combat that by talking to the people that aren’t in an Oprah book club. 

I thank you and your family.
