I have been a block captain with the Democratic Party in Austin for almost as long as I've lived here, and a voter deputy registrar since 2018. It hasn't made a bit of difference, and that's intentional. Anything good you do at the local level, the state government preempts. And the state legislature is so gerrymandered that even if you flipped the governor and lieutenant governor, you still couldn't roll back any of the awfulness that's already been passed. And there is no ballot initiative -- all the amendments on the ballot have to be proposed and approved by that gerrymandered legislature. That's why Oklahoma, Missouri, and Utah have medical marijuana and expanded Medicaid, and we don't.
