Own It

WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO WIN IN 2018

After the electoral gut punch in November, the exhilaration of the Womens' March in January, and the thrill of staging raucous town halls throughout the late winter and early spring, it is time to come to grips with what it will take to win in 2018.  I am talking about putting up with a long, slow slog.


I live a block away from mile 15 of the Boston Marathon.  This point is after the "Scream Tunnel" of Wellesley College, and before the brutal Newton hills - most notably Heartbreak Hill.  People are starting to look not too happy around this area.  They have to dig in, because they have another 11.5 miles to go.

We are entering the really tough part of the journey to take back the House in 2018.  It's time to own  this marathon.  The exhilaration will be back when we cross the finish line.
