“It is nice to have statewide ballot access, but we will never dream of winning a statewide election until we start winning the local ones.  I encourage others to get involved on the local level, many of these offices are winnable, and do not require a significant financial investment, just a lot of hard work.  I will be glad to help others get their campaigns started.”
