I’m trying to cut back on outside activities, including politics. Apparently, I’m in too deep to get out of the pool. New and experienced people continue to call me to discuss local politics. I thought I cut the cord on Jan. 15. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
There were only three people in attendance at our precinct caucus. None of us wanted to be on the county central committee caucus night so we turned the page in with those spots blank. I may have to go to the committee and get elected at a meeting to fill this role. Maybe not, we’ll see.
What do I plan to do regarding politics? As I age, I’m changing what I’m willing to do and made a list.
- Continue to get most news before it appears in local newspapers.
- I have a TV which is off most days.
- Focus on local races. My US Senators are not up this cycle.
- Help good people get elected.
- Politics is about personal networking.
- Social media is a small part of personal networking, very small.
- Maintain good health.
- Vote and encourage others to do so.
That’s a lot. That’s enough.
It’s just a matter of time before I make some commitments. So there it is. Happy 2024 election cycle!
