After a family vacation in August that was way too short – hello Family, remember me? – life moves on.
What a thrill to see my campaign colleage, Barbara Fraser win the Democratic nod for our State Senate race here in the 24th! I worked tremendously hard to make sure that our senate seat will be held by a progressive woman who KNOWS how to battle and stand up for our values.
However, it was sad to see 2 great colleagues in the House lose their primaries – Rep. Hope Whitehead and Rep. PasterJames T. Morris. Rest assured – their work for us is not finished- not by far.
The mood is tough and the anger is hot. But I’m not backing down from my ideals that I promised my constituents on which I would stand firm.
Help me work to keep Democrats representing our district - Congressman Russ Carnahan in D.C. and Barbara Fraser in the State Senate. Doorknock, phone and squeeze something out of the checkbook.
You can count on me.
