When you talk to your family about running for Congress, don't forget it isn't all "West Wing" and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".  It's a long-distance job that's going to cost a lot of time and money to commute to.  Not everybody is going to like that.

10,000 Front Doors, is a memoir about walking neighborhoods and asking for votes while running for Congress in 2018.

Step 1 of running for Congress: get on the ballot. Should be easy right? Wrong.  Not only that but you need to tell your family.  My family wasn't thrilled.

My campaign started less than three months after the attack on Stoneman Douglas High School.  It was a white hot issue that I knew I'd be forced to wrestle with.  Sadly, I knew that a lot of people were not going to want anything more that a ten word answer on the subject, and if any topic deserves more than ten words it's this one.

I've talked about liking unreasonable people.  Now we move to the unreasoning.  They are my kryptonite.  This episode gets into my experience with a conspiracy theorist and then turns to my painful separation from the catholic church.
