I am very excited about @AllyDalsimer's run for Congress. She's a fellow former public servant who dedicated her life to managing & protecting the DOD's significant landholdings. Like me, she left public service during the last administration, but has continued her fight.

We need more people who have lived and breathed the guts of government and understand what it will take to craft a well-funded, well-staffed, and durable #GreenNewDeal. She can bridge the wide gulf between legislative intent and administrative rule-making.

I "met" Ally (zoom, y'all!) and immediately knew this was a committed warrior with a strong moral center (you come for the migratory birds, you come for Ally!). audubon.org/news/rollback-…

One of the coolest parts of her story is that her son @KyleDalsimer encouraged her to run. One day they were watching @knockdownmovie and he said, "You can do this. You should do this."

A lot of climate activism has been foisted onto our youngest citizens, and frankly, it's gross. But here we have Aly's son showing us all that no one can sit this one out. We all have to be more, fight harder, and speak louder. There's no punting to the next generation.

Pay attention to this campaign. It's a true progressive versus a corporate incumbent.

And remember:

Don't drain the swamp. It's bad for its hydrology! @AllyDalsimer
