I was just about to post that, but now I will take the opportunity to tell or remind everyone that Andy Kim won re-election on Nov. 8. We in the teacher's unions were told it was an iffy race (republican area--partly Ocean County) and if we could, to please donate some time to working on his behalf.

Then we were on pins and needles when the third district experienced difficulties with the voting machines on election day.

Andy came to our teacher's conventions to speak and get to know us. We learned about his background and family.

However, it all worked out in the end! Andy won 54.6 and the republican got 44.4.



Tip of the hat to the Japanese supporters who showed the world a lesson about consideration, responsibility, and thoughtfulness.
