We in NC need to keep working to eliminate gerrymandering. In my district 11 there is no way for a Democrat to win because of this. Don't know how true it is in other districts. There were some changes but not enough in District 11. Thus we have a wet-behind-the-ears, immature representative named Madison Cawthorn, who is already making a name for himself, and not in a good way.

We can beat Cawthorn---hoping someone will step forward soon to start running against him for 2022.

Since Trump won't be on the ballot there won't be any coattails. The little Nazi is getting a big head from all the national press attention. The local Republican organizations are upset about money he's spending on his Hendersonville office and really mad that he's surrounding himself with his "bros" instead of party people who know how to play the game.

We need to move immediately and rapidly on economy and health.
Winning issues everywhere (we live in rural Wisconsin, and it's not as monolithically red as you might think).
