<\/center><\/p>\nI needed to do something while waiting for the presidential race to be called (so much for the media fast!) so I put this together.<\/p>\n
Kamala Harris.<\/strong> She’ll be the new senator from California. She’s the current state attorney general and the person I would have voted for if I was still living in California.<\/p>\n Patty Murray.<\/strong> She’s the incumbent senator running from Washington and I’m not surprised that she was re-elected. She’s known for reaching across the aisle to get stuff done and I had to double-check a couple days ago that she wasn’t running unopposed because I hadn’t heard anything about her opponent or even their existence. (I think the Washington GOP gave up on him when she came out so far ahead in the primary in August.)<\/p>\n Suzan DelBene.<\/strong> She’s my Congresscritter and her office has actually called me personally to let me know that she has voted the way I’ve asked her to vote on disability issues instead of just sending a stupid form letter. This is pretty rare for a House member and hers was only campaign I supported financially (other than maybe a couple bucks thrown at Hillary) this year because of her personal contact. She won by quite a decent margin so I’m thinking this is how she treats all of her constituents. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Tammy Duckworth.<\/strong> I love her for a number of reasons. The first one: she kicked a Republican out of the Senate in this year’s election. The second reason: she kicked the moronic Joe “You Lie” Walsh out of the House. <\/p>\n The biggest reason: she has pwned contractors exploiting their “disability” ratings to do business:<\/p>\n You don’t tell someone who lost their legs in combat and had her right arm blown off that your twisted ankle gives you a higher disability rating than hers!<\/p>\n Paul Penzone.<\/strong> He knocked out Sheriff Joe Arpaio who is a Trump-surrogate, pro-birther, a human rights abuser, anti-immigration, and who has made a mockery of the office for 20+ years. Arpaio is also facing criminal charges for contempt of court and could be serving some jail time. Friends of mine in Arizona are positively giddy.<\/p>\n Go love up Bonnie<\/a>, DeBalino<\/a>, and the others<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I needed to do something while waiting for the presidential race to be called (so much for the media fast!) so I put this together.
