17. My Congresswoman kicks ass. I met her and Wendy Davis when I ran for office last year

Jan 2018

Because I did run for State Representative, I was invited to 2 fundraisers , one in Albuquerque and one in Santa Fe. I met Wendy Davis (filibustered in TX to protect women's reproductive rights) and they were among the closest I've been to the 'celebrities that I care about and respect. ....plus Michelle is shorter than I am, which is saying a lot.

On second reading, Michelle is actually the Congresswoman from northern New Mexico while I'm down in Southern part where we have asshole Steve Pearce who is leaving (thank Goddess) to run for Governor.

Soon as an elected (by Dems in our county) state party person, I go to a Pre-primary meeting where we'll decide who can run in the primary. Michelle will be there and I can't wait to hear how many people cheer her when this is brought up, which I know it will. She's running for Governor, too. I intend to run for County Commissioner so as I knock on doors, I will carry some material for Michelle Lujan Grisham. Woo woo! She's a real fireball, so full of energy.

Well done.... awesomerwb1 Jan 2018 #1
