As you can see from the photos, Donald ran for office again this year. He was the Republican nominee for Minnesota House from district 52B. One of the great things about running for office is that you can't do it alone. You depend on help from many people who owe you absolutely nothing. They give their time, talents and treasure because they share a common cause.

Actually, all of life is like that, but we don't often think of it that way.
