<p>The other night, I did something I hadn’t done in a longtime — I went to my local town council meeting. Before the meeting, I had been outside flyering with fellow South Jersey Progressive Democrats. We hit a bunch of local council meetings over the course of a few days, asking people to join us in <a href="https://actionnetwork.org/letters/3dd1fd5539477826c109994739e33a8f440b8478/?hash=b36ff9747ae63a67b5229e986c6e3a5e" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">advocating for a fair US Senate endorsement process.</a></p>
