(Jon Ossoff is the thirty-year-old guy who's running for the House of Representatives, hoping to take the seat left vacant by Tom Price, when he was appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services.)
I really enjoyed the fundraiser for Jon Ossaff yesterday early evening.
I got to meet Markos Moulitsas, the person who founded the Daily Kos in 2002 !
See how blissed-out I look to be
standing beside this rock star of activism!
I also met the former president
of the Sierra Club and a woman who is an activist with Clean Tech.
I was so impressed that Jonathan Axelrad of
DLA Piper (a law firm) let the fundraisers use his law offices!
I also enjoyed meeting Christine
Guo and Mark Rossetti, who organized the fundraiser and greeted people. I was the first one there, so I had the chance
to get to talk to them and tell them about people I know from Georgia--most of
whom are Trump supporters. (A friend whose maiden of honor I was back in 1964 wrote on Facebook the morning after the presidential election, "God has given our nation a second chance.")
I like meeting Jon Ossoff's former
roommates Mark Rossetti and Richard Matsui--who were in a barbershop quartet with him, and even
though I know this is a trivial comment, I think Jon Ossoff is cute!
It was good to see a mixture
of ages, and in this picture you can even see a mixture of races!
Mark Rossi must be the same age
as Jon Ossoff--30!--and Mark's dad was
there too!
It was fun to see Jon Ossoff
on Skype, and there was a young family from the 6th district in Georgia, who just happened to be in San Francisco. With her little girl in her arms, the mother spoke, referring to her 20 years as a "lonely Democrat ," who's starting to feel some hope! (Shari and Arya?)
The food was vegetarian but
not vegan (because I don't like raw
veggies without something to dip them in, but I enjoyed the wine!
