Today I volunteered at campaign headquarters for Patricia Sullivan in Florida's 8th district. I decided to volunteer because I met Patrica and her husband in the local Costco and liked them. I was even more impressed at our training session. Patricia refused, even in the safety of her own headquarters, to belittle or besmirch her opponents, and insisted that we do the same. Talk about your clean campaigner!
She is intelligent and ethical. I believe we have a truly ethical person here. I have no qualms that she will be able to do the job of congress person with distinction. She is more interested in serving her constituents than in serving the party or the political establishment. Or as she says, she is a patriot not a politician.
This is a truly grass roots candidate and campaign. Of the 25 of us there for training, only 2 had ever worked on any kind of political campaign or project before. Three of us can't even vote for her, because we aren't in her district! But I think (as do the other two people) that is important that we get as many real people, people who are patriots, not politicans in Washington. Getting people like her in will help us all. Since I can't go home to help in my district, I will help her here.
