Look what came in the mail a bit too late! (Though my ordering it too late certainly didnt help 😅)
Glad I got to help Lauren Ashcraft’s awesome issues-based campaign for #NY12 (though not as much as I was hoping to thanks to COVID...). I still love how well she understands the bipartisan corruption behind the systemic nuanced issues we have--not just in that district but nationwide--and her ability to articulate exactly what needs to be systematically done about them (highly recommend podcasts and the indie media she's been on, like her Hardy Report interview) while using her platform to elevate those suffering in the community--all #NotMeUs stuff. And that she did that all with the social anxiety she's mentioned having is impressive haha.
There were a lot of great similar candidates running this year (Samelys Lopez in my NY-15, Isiah James in NY-9...), and all brought interesting perspectives to the table (and shirt designs I hope are still available 😭). Still waiting on those absentees to see how much they change things, and ugh I'm still getting Tiffany Caban nightmares there, but thanks to Lauren and everyone for running and offering the Left some needed hope.
(Also wondering how safe it'd be to get a needed haircut downtown... 🤔)
