Home at 2:30Am, up by 7am. Surely I've joined a campaign.
My host family is just fantastic. I've only spent about three house total with them, but they're caring and delightful. Both retired, she a nurse, he a nuclear engineer, they're always buzzing with energy. Fascinated by what we're doing on the ground and curious about my life, they are the perfect hosts for campaign housing. I keep thinking in my head how I'd love to host someone for a campaign, but in New York I can't imagine why I'd ever have to. Also, unless I was sleeping with the person, my studio isn't necessarily condusive to such long term stays.
Today is Dry Run 1. Testing out the systems for GOTV and reporting to make sure all is working like a well organized and well oiled machine 17 days from now.
Pennsylvania is different than most swing states in that there is NO early voting and getting an absentee ballot is not simple. So, it boils down to having 13 hours on election day to motivate, mobilize, and win.
And that's exactly what we intend to do.

- Jeffrey Cole LeFrancois
- Jeffrey LeFrancois is 27 years old and currently resides in Harlem with his two kitties, Theo and Bella. He has been living in New York City since 2003, when he moved here to study Political Science at Pace University. Having grown up in rural southeastern Connecticut, he found himself escaping to the City for cultural adventures, affairs, and urban exposure. It permitted him to exercise the more flamboyant elements of his wardrobe, skip school, and fall in love with trains. Loud-laughing, martini-sipping, and conservative-questioning, LeFrancois works in politics on the Westside of Manhattan. He freelances in floral design, loves to cook, throw pottery and collect art when and where he can. In high school, it was easier to defend the right to an abortion than to take up the mantle for gay rights. But with an unrelenting pull to do what’s right, and for the simple fact of being gay, his loud liberal voice speaks for the gamut of social justice causes. He also believes that nearly every economic problem in this country can be cured through public infrastructure development and investment. Enjoy the writing.
