LIVE from Spokane: Congressional Breakfast

Today's activities began at 7 AM with the Congressional Breakfast. Darcy Burner served as MC. One thing that struck me deeply is how articulate our Congressional Reps and Congressional candidates are about issues.

They spoke from the heart. Of what's possible and attainable if we work hard.

Jim McDermott was the closing speaker and was, as always, engaging and folksy. I had a chance to speak with Darcy Burner and Jim McDermott afterwards. I've spoken with Darcy before, but this was my first opportunity to speak with Jim,

One of the great things about being a Democrat in Washington State is the accessibility of our leaders. I grew up in Los Angeles, and the idea of being involved in the party to the degree that so many activists are here was essentially ridiculous.

We from the 45th are all seated together on the convention floor. More later.
