"Yeah, the campaign wore me out, but it was worth it. We really worked well together; we were well organized. You know, I love political work. I’m an American female in the fifty-to-seventy demographic, so life never made any sense to me. Nothing ever turned out the way I was taught to expect. Ever since the economy crashed and the nets ate up everything ... But inside politics, it all feels so different. I’m not just a straw in the wind. I really felt like I was changing the world, for once. Instead of the world changing me."
