Thank you, San Diego!

Last Tuesday, the residents of AD-80 voted in a special election and a regularly-scheduled primary election. With most of the vote counted, we are behind in the special election but we emerged from the regularly-scheduled primary as the top vote-gett…

Friend, I only have a couple of minutes

I'm currently going door to door around AD-80, encouraging folks to go vote if they haven't already.   Winning this runoff election means better public transportation, more affordable housing, expanded reproductive freedoms, and a lower cost of living for our state. It could not be more important.…

Are you ready for this?

Don't let Big Oil buy themselves a seat...

Election Day is THIS TUESDAY, so we’re all hands on deck.  Georgette will be on the ballot twice — in a run-off election to represent AD-80 for the rest of this term, and in a primary election for next term.  These next two days will be pivotal in getting out the vote. Can you rush a donation now …
