First meeting of the Sierra Club political committee is under my belt. I am delighted to say that there were several things we did that I cannot talk about yet. It was fun, sitting around the table again, considering political strategy, making decisions. There was a volunteer opportunity, but, unlike many times in the past, I did not step up. The Sierra Club has a well conceived and well run political operation; it will require some time to understand.
Margaret Levin is an excellent staffer. Her presence reminded me of my work with the Presbytery, helping things happen, supporting when necessary, providing guidance, prodding at times. Josh Davis, the chair, is very knowledgeable about state level politics. He came tonight with a map of the state house districts color coded by safe seats, 5% margin and 2% margin races. In addition there were districts Sierra Club allies have targeted in blue.
There were two past chairs of the political committee on the committee which is great. Continuity and experience. This will be an educational process and I look forward to it.
Drove home with the windows down and the moon roof open, listening to a lecture on Thomas Hardy.
