3. I was just asked to be a major donor to my county's coordinated campaign

We are running the coordinated campaign outside the county party and this will be interesting.

I had fun a couple times this spring. I paid for and took Sri Preston Kulkarni to the local Democratic Lawyers Association meetings. It you want to have fun watch a candidate for congress mingle with a roomful of Democratic lawyers. This was very fun to watch.
