Good luck with your campaign and glad to see your still around. Glad you didn’t get sucked into the whats in it for me scheme of things. Good you can stick to your principles and hope you can run on that as people getting sick of special interest and bought and paid for gov.
ps General rule when your new at anything is you see things that need to be addressed but as time goes on your shut down like your saying about making enemies ” especially if they can single you out if there is not enough of like minded people or are but afraid to say anything” then after awhile people just settle into the same old same old business as usual as you only have so much energy in a day. Hope you can change what you can even if one thing at a time.
