“Wilmot Collins, who arrived in Helena 23 years ago, unseated the mayor of 16 years with a progressive message. The Huffington Post and MSNBC have reported that Collins appears to be the first black mayor in Montana’s history.“

Wow. This is beyond amazing.

These elections across the country, local though they may be are giving me hope

Change starts at the local level. I’m just glad that more people are finally understanding that voting and political participation are not optional.
