Don’t despair. I feel your angst, frustration, and sadness.
I do have some hope to offer you in the form of women and men who are not white/heterosexual/cisgender who have run for local office in the past two years. We have a series called Political Q&A. You might want to read through.
If you have a candidate running for office in 2020 who identifies as progressive (yes, we’ll include white cis het men, too) and is willing to complete the Q&A, please contact us pghlesbian at gmail dot com.
