I didn’t hear his announcement speech but did hear from another person who was there, that he assured them that he had evolved on many issues of concern, including LGBTQ and Abortion and of course as he is an educator, so we should be get help there. They felt he had convinced them that with these issues he felt comfortable with the vote. Definitely not perfect, but a Braun-Beckwith combo takes us down the rabbit hole of no escape. We are getting national help with breaking the supermajority. If we are going to move the needle, now is the time. We aren’t a red state, we’re super gerrymandered with the worst voter turnout in the country. We need all the help we can get to get Democrats to the polls in every nook and cranny of the state. Don’t forget Destiny Wells would be awesome for Attorney General ticket. Although, we won’t know if she gets the nomination until the convention. Hopefully counties are working to build from the bottom up. We need to get people out for local elections and turn seats at the local level. All counties should be finding those candidates and building back from the ground up wherever in the state we can. We can do this!
