In particular, I note your focus on younger folks getting involved. That is great! although, it certainly does not include me, at age 58. However, it does include my three children ages 23, 26, and 28. My wife, Elizabeth, and I met when we were 20-something -- she was on the national field staff of the 1976 Jimmy Carter for President Primary Campaign and I was just getting involved as a volunteer. I'd really like to see more young folks more involved in politics. They are the future. Of course, I would welcome their support in my own campaign, and, when elected, I intend to find ambitious and energetic staff to help me. Thanks for this coverage of the election.
