I've never seen anything like it. First from 7:30 to 9 this morning, and then from 945 to 12 midnight tonight, I joined my campaign team at the corner of 11th and J, across from the Sacramento Convention Center. There, we witnessed thousands of new voters turning in their registration forms, many for the first time. Thanks to the good work of Secretary of State Bowen and the Sacramento County Registrar of Voters, voters streamed all day long to the drive-thru voter registration tables. Dozens of eager election registration volunteers worked curbside checking the accuracy of forms. Streams of cars were backed up to I-5 at times, their occupants filling out and dropping off their voter registration forms. In total, 5,761 new forms were received. I must have shaken 600 hands. Hundreds of these new voters honked their horns, gave us a thumbs up or a high five, or pulled over for a photo. Just like the reports of long lines in Florida's early voting today, I could feel the excitement of this election like never before. It also was amazing to see the diversity of Sacramento voters coming out of the woodwork to participate in this election. I saw carloads of 18 year olds registering for the first time, entire families from grandma's to young voters, and even a 71-year-old who told us it was the first time she was excited to vote. As midnight approach, they showed up in their pajamas and bathrobes Amazing. It's good to know that our democracy is alive and well. I'm energized by all these new voters. It looks like  Sacramento is on its way for record turnout this election year.
