Happy Sunday! 

It's an intense season of reporting as we work our way towards June 2. We're close to the finish line on our campaign finance series and we've also almost finished our meet the candidate series. I'll be working on editing and curating the last one over the weekend. 

Covering the candidates is something I really enjoy. I love getting to spend an hour with each of the people who are running for office, seeing them up close and personal, as humans, not campaign signs, with all their own quirks and foibles and insights. 

Forging ahead,

Annelise Pierce
