Picking up Steam in Winston-Salem

Lobby Day approaches with full force! And that means lots of events and phone calls for the Dem Summer interns. Getting the word out has been relatively easy.

Thus far, I'm beginning to [...]

Here Comes the Choir

Yes, yes the choir is myself, Erica, and Robert. Every Monday we set our goals for the week so that each individual day we have goals that need to be met. On most days, we are so engrossed doing our own thing, usually right after our lunch break, that each of us hums a little [...]
