First meeting of the Sierra Club political committee is under my belt.\u00a0 I am delighted to say that there were several things we did that I cannot talk about yet.\u00a0 It was fun, sitting around the table again, considering political strategy, making decisions.\u00a0 There was a volunteer opportunity, but, unlike many times in the past, I did not step up.\u00a0 The Sierra Club has a well conceived and well run political operation; it will require some time to understand.<\/p>\n
Margaret Levin is an excellent staffer.\u00a0 Her presence reminded me of my work with the Presbytery, helping things happen, supporting when necessary, providing guidance, prodding at times.\u00a0 Josh Davis, the chair, is very knowledgeable about state level politics.\u00a0 He came tonight with a map of the state house districts color coded by safe seats, 5% margin and 2% margin races.\u00a0 In addition there were districts Sierra Club allies have targeted in blue.<\/p>\n
There were two past chairs of the political committee on the committee which is great.\u00a0 Continuity and experience.\u00a0 This will be an educational process and I look forward to it.<\/p>\n
