a rolling stone gathers no moss

Our quest to connect the blue dots in Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District continues. As does our desire to create a community for all.
Last week, we visited 2 counties, Stearns & Clay. The meeting in Stearns County was with a non-partisan group called Stearns United. I was impressed. Not only were there a lot of people in the room, around 50ish, they seemed to have their ducks in a row. The meeting consisted of committee leads reporting to the larger group about the actions they have taken and actions to be done. I was allowed to address the crowd at the end of the meeting. Lots of really engaging questions were asked, which led to great conversations. The quote that kept running through my head was from Theodore Roosevelt; “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” I believe the time for doing nothing has passed.
I took part in the Clay County DFL Convention in Moorhead, MN over the weekend. I'm grateful for the work these folks have done to make this area a stronghold of Democracy and opportunity over the years. Huge thanks to those who showed up for their 1st meeting as well. Bringing with them new energy and perspectives. I'm also grateful for the leadership of people like Representative Heather Keeler, Senator Rob Kupec and candidate Thaddeus Laugisch.
Once again, I was allowed to address the room and field questions. What I took away from the meeting was the need to keep showing up, even when it is hard. The need to hold onto empathy & truth. Democracy is more than just voting. We must be involved from the grassroots level to the national level if we are to maintain our abundance and shared opportunities.
