It was always neat to have a sitting Senator show up at our Progressive Bloggers meetings/get-togethers — not just as a politician glad-handing us looking for photo-ops.. but as an actual Progressive blogger herself. For many years, Senator McCoy wrote on her own personal blog called “Hullabaloos”. It was pretty cool the day I got an application from her in my email asking if she could become a blog affiliate and have her blogposts aggregated to the Prog Blog site.
She attended some of those early get togethers when she was available, and she was well regarded, I think, by all the Progressive Blogging community – despite our wide range of views on that side of the political spectrum.
She will be missed.
