Nov 2018

We (the dems) where I live, worked our buns off, phone banking, postcard writing, door knocking, fund raising. I thought we really had a chance for change. Not one dem in my county won. One dem won in the next county over by less than 100 votes. We did have success unseating several republican school board members there to result in a dem majority, so that's good.

We'll be ready next time though because we got very close and we are just getting warmed up.
