Thinking Ahead

Well, the national election results were... disappointing. But here in Washington, we held on to our Democratic Senator, and kept all our House seats. We've got both houses of the state legislature, which is good even if we don't know who the governor is just yet.

But though I'm sure I wasn't the only one who took the days after the election to regroup a little and get back to all the teings I'd put off until 'after the election', it's time to look ahead to the next one. So I'm sharing the following message with you in hopes that it gets to the right people:

Dear friends,

Due to the increased interest in the 2005 elections, and the large number of extensions that have been requested, we are reopening the IDF admissions process for the class of 2005 for everyone. Please postmark your application by November 9th to be considered.

The Institute for a Democratic Future, trains women and men ages 21-36 in political and public policy issues, the legislative process, campaigns and elections and how to prepare to run for office. Each year, the program accepts 25 emerging leaders in Washington state.
