A Day in the Campaign Life

  1. Drove to livestream a media event for Valerie Haskins for Georgia State Senate District 29, Leader Bob Trammell for State House and HCDC Vice-Chair Nicole Baxby at the Trade Center 📡;
  2. Went with Valerie to eat at The Simple Greek, check her postcards that I designed for a fundraiser event, and work on her questionnaire from the GEA before she left for home and then LaGrange 🕵️‍♀️;
  3. Talked to Danny Ingram on the phone for the first time in years;
  4. Drove to see if anyone was at the campaign office but, seeing no one was there, walked across the street to Emmanuel Christian Center for a “Black Voters Matter” event that I hadn’t heard about but saw signs for on the road 🤔; 
  5. Met the amazing Anoa J ChangaCliff Albright and LaTosha Brown in person 😲;
  6. Listened in to the event and got a word in about a) the need for direct democracy and the initiative process in Georgia and b) the need to repeal our School Disturbance law to substantial applause ✊;
  7. Traded contacts with few reporters for NYT, Rewire.news, etc and a poll worker 🤩;
  8. Got a big box of partisan and non-partisan cards from Black Votes Matter to pass out before they drove off in a bus 👏;
  9. Drove home to an actual apartment because I don’t know what else to do with this day (maybe have a siesta on it?) 🤯.

🎶 Gotta say today was a good day!
