I’m the dairy farmer running to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

It rained today, a lot. And the ground is frozen, so the water just made a big lake on the driveway, threatening to become a skating rink. So, like King Canute*, I've battled with it all day. But the answer was snow, like cornstarch into gravy to make a slurry. *just for @ltimonin.bsky.social

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Thankfully, my kids are past all of these standard vaccines. But, outside of early childhood, HPV vaccines are super important. Also, even if you are an old, like me (48!) you should get your titers checked. I needed a mumps booster this year! Yikes!
