If you’ve ever volunteered for a campaign before, you’ll know that social distancing is not part of campaign life. Campaign offices are usually filled with volunteers making calls or stuffing envelopes, and those that aren’t in the office are in the field, knocking on voters’ doors. There are r…

We didn’t want to have to write this email.  But the truth is we have been out-raised, not once, but twice, in the last two fundraising reporting periods.  According to the San Luis Obispo Tribune, our opponent       “…has had a strong showing of financial support since he listed in tax document…
