In terms of voter engagement, I just think people are exhausted and busy. They don't always see how politics affects their daily lives, and they don't always have the time to do the necessary research to be involved. 3/

We have the idea in the US that politics should not be discussed in polite company. I disagree. I think it is imperative that we discuss politics with friends, coworkers and families. Our lack of talking about it has led to the immense divides we are seeing between parties. 4/

Candidates and parties need to make themselves more accessible. I've held 4 Town Halls and will continue to do so through the campaign, and continue when I'm in office. 5/

I block walk so I can reach voters where they live. When we show up at their doors, we are showing them that they matter. That we are not taking them for granted. We need to to more of that. #

We at @BlueWaveCS agree! Social media is great for fundraising and getting the word out there, but boots on the ground and being face to face with voters is what really wins elections. And we're happy to help with both! Thank you so much for talking with us today! 1/

Q9: What is one issue we haven’t covered today that is an important one affecting your district, and Q10: Where can people learn more about your campaign and how to support it? #10Q #TX31 2/2 https://bluewavecrowdsource.com/candidates/dr-christine-mann?ref=tw …

Veterans issues. My district is home to the largest military installation in the world: #FtHood. I've seen the issues #Veterans face both in my practice and while campaigning. And they feel that their needs are being ignored. 1/

Our military personnel and our #Veterans are asked, and they offer, to lay down their lives for our country. They and their families should be taken care of without question. 2/
