(Community Matters) Enjoyed meeting Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) yesterday during his swing through Austin. He’s a die hard progressive who won a tough race against an incumbent Republican in a state, politically, not too different from ours today.
We had a good conversation about challenges currently faced in Washington and about how progressives need to weigh in at the White House, ensuring that the President is persuaded by our ideas – his base ideas btw. Others attending included Jim Martson, Margo Weisz, Tim McCabe, Frank Fernandez, Geronimo Rodriguez, Rebecca Lightsey, Paul Scott, Ken Gladish, John Hildreth, Tony Martinez, Sylvia Acevedo and Wyeth Wideman.
