I live in Tennessee’s 15th Congressional District. Or at least I used to. The Republican Party gerrymandered the shit out of TN. Or at least the two major Democratic cities; Memphis and Nashville.
I was reading Herb Jones twitter page today about how congressional districts in Virginia have changed and people are just finding out, that like me, they also will be voting in a changed district.
Virginian’s are lucky if they’re in the 1st district because Herb Jones is someone I know. He’ll make a great congress critter and probably make my life better, even here in TN.
My Representative has been Jim Cooper, often considered the worst Democrat in Congress. He decided not to run when the district was redrawn. Some Dem is running and I highly doubt they could be worse than Cooper.
If you know me, you know that I’ve been getting ready for surgery and I just had a very bad car accident, so I’m not really focused on if I vote in a new place or not. I’ll vote for the Dem, wherever I end up but I’m sure not as excited as I would be if I were voting in Herbs district.
If you’re like me and live in a red state, take this chance for some excitement and help get the word out about Herb. Follow him on twitter, do whatever it is internet people do. I email all my friends and ask them to email all their friends. I’m old school that way.
Herb’s campaign manager, Lucy Hartman.
