The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of end-of-school-year sports banquets, graduations, grad parties, campaign events, and canvassing. One of the most rewarding experiences continues to be the doorstep dialogues with voters. Learning your priorities for a new Mayor and hearing your desire for a change in leadership is refreshing and affirming.
