Here’s a lady who was determined to bring grassroots advocacy to the Naples area, and instead of just talking about organizing, she’s done it and has, through that process encouraged many people to run for office. One day she figured out that all the organizing was leading her toward running for office herself. You can help people to help themselves, but when you’re a political organizer, and you believe strongly in helping others, there’s really no better way than to get in the game.
Sara knew it was going to be really hard. The last person to run as a Democrat in District 106 was in 1978 and they lost. But she isn’t giving up. There’s too much at stake. So, as of October 2017 she’s a Candidate for FL State Representative in House District 106!
It's been an uphill battle. She had to build infrastructure, find people with institutional knowledge and convince the naysayers, but it's working. Her opponent is far right, loaded down with Koch money and a 93% NRA rating, but her campaign now has 10 state-level endorsements, has been ahead with "cash on hand" since May, and has WON more contributions the last reporting period! And most important, she’s ahead in the hearts and minds of the voters she meets. She’s not the back room, back slapping, in the back pocket of big money representative we’ve lived with for years. She’s “wonder woman” and come November she’s going to flip this district.
