I called his DC office this morning and had to leave a message...told him that he was backing a loser and he needed to grow up and be responsible.

Democratic organizations throughout District 11 are working to get a candidate that can take him on for 2022. Asheville and Sylva/Cullowhee are the only two progressive pockets in the District so I'm pushing for a more moderate candidate. Also, we need a "local"---someone from the mountains with deep roots.

I remember you posting pre-election about getting involved....Henderson County will be working on their organization in the coming weeks and they could probably use you in your precinct! I've been active as a precinct officer for years and it is the true grass roots! It's a great way to get to know your neighbors! It's also great to have like-minded people to talk to. (just like being on DU!)
