      I’ve been on a school board, PTSOs, volunteer regularly, coached traveling soccer (it doesn’t pay anything) for over a decade. I didn’t have enough time to run for any office but i go to every other town board meeting and i show up to school board meetings semi regularly.

      Too scatterbrained to be a good public speaker. Helped launch a disability rights org and lobbied government instead (with reports and scathing tweets instead of money). Organised grassroots pressure is surprisingly effective, would recommend.

      I’m a “child of the internet” and would more than likely be the cause of the left and right uniting in their disgust of me for some dumb thing I did/said like 20 years ago lol
