Just before I was diagnosed with dementia I ran for office twice. The DU raised about $2,500 between the two runs.
When I started the donation page for Joe Biden there was the sound of laughter echoing over in the cave. Almost 1/2 of a million dollars later, they aren't laughing anymore.
Now duhneece is running for New Mexico State Senate District 33. Duhneece is true blue. She could use a little of the magic DU did for me when I ran. As little as $3 buys a yard sign, and a hand written thank you card sent by the USPS.
The DU has already raised $515. We can do a lot better.
