Thank you for what you’re doing!
It’s a family tradition. My dad took us to state convention back when candidates were selected purely on the vote of the delegates at convention. IT was a YUGE event in Indianapolis
I remember in the vote for State Treasurer two men were neck & neck. At convention a third came in with a small brass band lots of noise and won. Everyone cheered. Dad said the other two men had a bad reputation so most were relieved to vote for the third
Our hotel suite was filled with roses — given one at a time to the
Ladies. The ceiling covered with balloons. Dad represented our county. He wanted us to see “democracy” at work. We no longer choose candidates by convention. Now the primary vote does !
