How we started:
​
We started as a group of individuals from diverse backgrounds initially came together while volunteering for a project survey to improve our Legislative District and reduce conflict.
​
Our shared passion for improving local governance became evident during late-night strategy sessions and asking the Precinct Committeeman the survey questions. As we collaborated, we discovered a mutual frustration with inefficiencies and lack of responsiveness in our Legislative District.
​
This realization sparked the idea to form a cohesive team dedicated to effecting change.
​
We decided to pool our skills, with some bringing in expertise in legislation, others in community organizing, and several with a knack for digital outreach.
​
Together, we envisioned not just incremental changes but a revitalized approach to how our district could address its legislative needs, turning our group into a dynamic force for local political reform.
