Great takeaways and that shows such a high amount of introspection and thoughtfulness that many politicians don’t have these days. But also, you went up against some pretty big names, and most of them have had 20+ more years than you to make connections in the community. Also, you and your family just happen to be from the smallest town in the county, which doesn’t help when other candidates grew up in Brazil (more classmates). I love that you turned your thinking to “look at how many people I was able to talk into voting for me” because that speaks volumes.
Thank you Chelsie! Well we wouldn't be the smallest town if those turdbuckets from Brazil hadn't burned our county capital to the ground :) I appreciate the kind pick me up words!
Noah - Loved your story of how you got to this moment, your courage and the lesson you taught your children. Dream big! Go for it! Stay positive! Don't let fears overtake you!
I'm proud to say I voted for you! This is just a stepping stone. You will still contribute to our community, and hopefully, will run again. We need representatives like you. Best wishes in the future!
I have had to remind myself that I can still advocate for all the changes I wanted to make even not being in the actual seat of power. In truth I might have more freedom to push for actual changes I would like to see without fear of how it is going to effect me politically, or watered down by what I think might actually be able to get passed. Thank you for your kind words!

You mentioned Ben Sasse. Have you read Ben Sasse's book, "Them: Why We Hate Each other and How To Heal"
I am a big fan.
Love that book as well as his other book The Vanishing American Adult. Such clear writing and great insights.
