Gene's my guy.
He's from Bay St Louis, MS which is a boating community and is a
lifelong sailor himself with many friends and supporters in the
boating community here, so his interest in this issue isn't
surprising. Thing is, he's a relatively young guy without much
seniority or clout in congress. And being a white male from MS isn't
particularly politically helpful either. Point being, if ever y'all
were going to urge your own congressmen/women to support an issue, now
would be a good time. I don't know anything about Candice Miller, her
interests, or how much political pull she has. I think though, those
two can use all the help they can get. Especially from you
constituents of high profile more politically powerful
representatives.
