Hey – it’s Stephanie. I’m writing on my own behalf, separate from our voter CRM product. This is a 6-minute read, so if you’ve missed a few weeks of Serve60Sharp, count that time 😀 If you’ve followed me on social media (X) or live in the KC area, you know of my longtime, vocal opposition to Donald Trump as the …

Knock, Knock… Answer the *&!$# Door!
🚫 Stranger Danger Why is a stranger knocking on your door? Because it’s a candidate who wants to meet you. For the love of Pete, answer it! The old adage that “if you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain” applies here. If you don’t answer the door when a candidate knocks, you don’t get to say: They LITERALLY walked to your house and are standing …

Thirsty Thanks: PLAY BALL!
Summer sports = hot, sweaty players, coaches, and umps. Your Stanley is packed with ice and water (and maybe a little sumpin’ sumpin’ – SHHH, we won’t tell!). Coolers of water and Gatorade are lined up behind the dugout. Speaking of lines, there’s a long one at the water fountain. Guess who’s forgotten – those who call the game. And …

Make a Staffer’s Day: Contact your DC legislators

Fair warning – this is a 180-second note, but mostly because of a soapbox moment describing what it’s like to be a low-level staffer in DC. This week is a 2-for-1 follow-up to March 8. You can …
