So get this... a central part of my campaign platform is promoting wind power and pointing out my opponent's work to keep us buying coal power from his employer/campaign donor in North Dakota. Well... 6 months ago they had absolutely no plans to build any wind farms in the region. Now suddenly they've switched gears and his campaign contributors are getting ready to start putting up a HUGE wind farm not far from here.
So just by running, I'm helping to get wind farms in the region. Of course, that doesn't hurt my campaign at all, since there's more too it than that. But I feel like that's a real accomplishment.
