Two weeks ago today we introduced ourselves and our candidate, Shelia Smoot, here in a diary called Running for Congress (AL07) Our First Daily Kos Diary.
Part of the suggestions in the comments thread were for us to stay active and involved with this site and others and to not just disappear. We decided that a series of diaries to talk about our candidate and the issues important to this district would be helpful.
We are going to run an interactive campaign and ask for feedback. But today I wanted to talk about Shelia's involvement in creating the Jefferson County Greenway Commission and her views on environmental health and smart urban growth. A few issues, very connected, that are very important in the future of the Alabama 7th Congressional District as we look to make an official entry and announcement in the coming weeks.
