Among the victories by what has become known as the Trump resistance last November was that of Democrat Kelly Fowler’s election to the Virginia House of Delegates. When asked, she credited her victory in large part to the work of 31st Street Swing Left, one of whose leaders is Larry Buc ’68, who first suggested adding fund-raising to the group’s canvassing efforts. When a discouraged Fowler almost dropped out of the race, 31st Street sent her more than $3,000 and then another $7,000, which gave her the support to win. As Buc told a reporter for the Nation, “1) There is nothing exceptional about what we did, 2) Others did similar things, 3) We need more people to do this, and 4) We can train people to do it.”
