If you're a Democrat living in the Sarasota (Florida) area, you've got to meet Christine Jennings .
Chris worked her way up from bank teller to founder and CEO of Sarasota Bank. In 2006, she ran for the congressional seat occupied by Katherine Harris.
Ironically, the results of that last election met with considerable controversy, as 18,000 touch-screen votes were "lost" due to a purported malfunction, costing her to lose by only 369 votes.
Since Election Day, Chris has worked tirelessly for election reform. She has made national headlines and helped produce changes in the way votes will be cast and counted in Sarasota and elsewhere in our nation.
I had an opportunity to meet with Chris and her son while they were visiting the New York City area. She is a fine lady, a person of integrity and resolve, who will serve her constituents with distinction and honor.
Here are the particulars for an event she is having on Wednesday afternoon, May 28, 2008:
