A couple months ago, our daughter found a blue-book in our basement. With two teachers in the house who never throw anything away, this wasn't surprising. When I explained that a blue book was a place where students write their answers to exam questions, she said "oooh, that sounds like fun, give me a question!" So, I asked her "What is politics and what is it for?" Our daughter wrote: "Politics is when you go to a Hampton Dems meeting, sit in a circle, talk, and then go and vote. Politics is for making your community better." 

I agree, and that is why I wanted to start my campaign by sitting down in a circle with voters in towns across the district and asking "what do you wish politicians understood better about your experience?" In an era where so many candidates are expected to be content creators, I have made a different choice: to stay grounded in real conversations, hold face-to-face meetings, and spend time listening to the people in my community instead of talking at them.
