12. Denise knows that this is an uphill fight
Tue Nov 8, 2016, 08:23 AM
Nov 2016

I don't think she'll mind if I share part of her last message to me:

No Dem has received more than 37% of the District votes in the past many years; even Obama and our Dem Senators only got 36%. My Campaign Manager says that she'll be ok if we get 40%...I hope for more, of course! I'm not going to our County Clerk's office to wait for results...too boring for too long and being surrounded by all of our Tea Party R's sounds like too much. I'll be at the Election Watch and Thank You, Volunteer party...hoping not to get sloppy drunk...I've had nothing to drink in public since March, not even a beer or glass of wine.


Still, there's hope, as Hillary's coattails and the Hispanic vote can give her a boost.

Whatever happens, what counts is that Denise is fighting the good fight.

And what she's doing takes a special kind of courage.

Talk about setting a good example!
