I'm lucky to know my State Senator and Assemblymember and US Congresscritter very well from past activities and contributions to their campaigns.
Locally, County Supervisors wield a lot of power as do members of City Councils, so I do my best to engage them all.
Unfortunately, we just lost a Supervisor race to a climate denier when a far better candidate was running and we're stuck for 4 years with that bad apple.

All I can think to do is work harder and, maybe, differently but it takes effort.
We can't expect others to do it for us.

Happy Thanksgiving!
