Kudos! A 19 year-old Dem door-to-door canvasser.

Just one local example, yet good to see. Just had a knock on the door and a visit from a young volunteer, making the rounds in support of my US House Rep - Lois Capps - and a County Supervisor up for re-election.

Shared my support for both and had one question - "Could you have a yard sign for the Supervisor dropped off at my house?" He said, "Sure. We already have a spot picked for yours if you wanted one."

Thanked him for doing the volunteer leg work as he left and he turned. "You're welcome. This is what democracy is about and I'm glad to be a part."

Good to see.
