Crisanta Duran beats Mark Thrun in Democratic HD5 primary, gets her website hacked

Alright folks, here’s the article from the Westword.

What can I say?  My new house district representative.  sigh…

So…I haven’t blogged in a really long time.  …certainly not for lack of interest but capitalism’s latest little hiccup has affected all of us and made me refocus my priorities for a bit.  As much as I’ve been burning to write, I, like millions, possibly billions of other people have had to hustle a bit harder these days to make ends meet.  Blogging has therefore lost priority points. I think and hope I’m through the worst of it so I’ll be blogging again some time in the near future.  Only difference: I’m letting go of Union Staff Speaks Out and will be blogging from a new site.  This blog has offered a good taste of what’s to come though.

I think the biggest mistake I made with Union Staff Speaks Out was that I painted myself into a corner with regards to subject matter.  In short: I felt everything had to focus around labor and I had to be careful to not come across as though I was the voice of union staff.

Stay tuned, thanks for reading, and congratulations Crisanta Duran.
