Bold Progressives Drafted Elizabeth Warren - Let's Keep Doing That

[MineralMan]

48. Thank you. I used to focus on Presidential elections, but

learned that my participation in those made little to no difference. I then learned that I could actually make a difference locally, so I shifted my activism to the local level. It has worked on many occasions. The most recent success was getting the third place state senate candidate elected in the primary and then in the general. Working with many others, we booted the incumbent by withholding the party's endorsement. Without that, he withdrew, leaving the seat open. A strong grassroots GOTV effort won the general election for the candidate I supported at the precinct caucus level, despite his being in third place at the district convention, which did not make an endorsement.

Local politics. At that level, change can happen in a single election. It's where change begins.
