 6/ I walk up to this one house. It's listed as a swing voter (a couple) that tends to vote to the left, but a swing none the less.

Look around and see little kiddie toys on porch and a Tesla and a Prius in the drive. Okay.

Knock and a young woman answers. Prob in her early/mid 30s.

"Hi. I'm Mike Gastin and I'm running for city council. I'm introducing myself to neighbors ...."

We talk and I share why I'm running and ask her what she's concerned about. All that stuff. 
 @de63a1b3 My brother in law lives at Mariner's Cay on Oak Island, opposite the Folly River from Folly Beach. He's sick of it because of all the liberal nazis running the home owners association. I went to school down there and lived downtown for a spell. There be nazi fascists down that way despite it being in the 1st district... I'm glad that a conservative appears to have a chance. Perhaps some things do change. 
 @e2c7778b We are working really hard to win this thing. We've got a solid path to winning the seat, but it's going to be God if it happens. TYFTC.
