I said earlier this year that Adele is a person that I have wished that I would one day be able to vote for. It’s still true. Proud of my friend for making a hard decision quickly and for principled reasons.

Last night, Adele and I sat down and talked about a lot: from our policy stances to our shared vision for the future of this district. Adele, I’m honored to have your support and look forward to having you a part of this journey. Thank you for your continued service to our area.

Posted this as a reply. Should have made it its own post.

Adele is a person who I’ve wished I would one day have the chance to vote for. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

1/ My first book, NECK OF THE WOODS, is currently sold out(!) from my publisher, @alicejamesbooks.bsky.social, which OTOH is great! OTOH, it'd be even greater if ppl signed up to be notified when it's back in stock—bc that will create demand for another edition—& then purchase it directly from AJB.

I have such a grateful heart. I’ve received so much support. I am a product of 10th & Page and Charlottesville City Schools. It brings me so much joy to be able to pour back into the people and places who have poured into me. Legacy is everything. We take care of us. zyahnabryantforccs.com
