Stories from the week of December 2, 2016
Karma is always welcomed: Updating my info of House offices this week by going door to door, I chanced to catch Congressman Danny Davis (D-Chicago) in the reception area. He granted me a minute of his time. “If you ever have a chance to speak to President Obama before he leaves office, please ask him to address the nation’s 800,000 police officers and tell us the War on Drugs is over.”
Davis responded that he was having lunch with POTUS on Tuesday and he will consider bringing it up. Stay tuned.
