I belong to an activist political organization, and I’ve met our Congressman and our Governor. I’ve also been in a relatively small audience – eg, fewer than 800 – where Kamala Harris spoke, and another one with Joe Biden and one of our Senators. Also Jesse Jackson showed up at the meeting that Harris addressed.
Back in my corporate days, my company belonged to an organization called Association for a Better New York, and I was 10 feet away from President Clinton and, at another meeting, Hilary.
