@Matt_Blumenthal Thanks! Very appreciative for all of your help in getting this family home.

[Ben Lee @BenLeeBOE]

Our Afghan allies will make excellent Americans. If you’d like to help welcome them, please consider volunteering and donating with @IRAP and @USCRIdc

[Ben Lee @BenLeeBOE]

A man walked next to me in a dangerous place, so I promised that I would walk next to him if he were ever in danger. I’m eternally grateful to all those who helped me keep that promise.

Just a few hours left before polls close - make sure to get out and vote! Let's make @PBMillerCT our next state senator for Stamford and Darien.

@StamfordHosp is doing hundreds of vaccinations per day, and more sites are coming online soon as vaccine supplies increase, which means more volunteers will be needed to keep up the momentum. If you're interested in helping out, please go to https://t.co/fbcMLnTJli

[Ben Lee @BenLeeBOE]

CT leads the nation in vaccinations because we’re doing the little things right, like leveraging volunteers to assist with the vaccination process.

I just did a shift last night with my friend Rep. Mary Fedeli, and can say it’s immensely rewarding (1/3)

[Ben Lee @BenLeeBOE]

Volunteers are positioned at every corner to guide patients from one station to the next to make it a seamless process.

That frees up nurses to put needles in arms and allows for booking a few more appointments per shift. It's safe and easy, and every little bit helps (2/3)

[Ben Lee @BenLeeBOE]

Great news! Still a long way to go, but we're getting there.

Wise approach here

One woman told News12 she is planning for half the number of people but is still cooking triple the amount of pies. https://t.co/S2mvdweOn0

@TheFoodBankLFC is doing heroic work right here in Glenbrook to help thousands of our neighbors this season - if you're able, please join my family in supporting them.

NEW: More Americans are going hungry now than at any point during the deadly coronavirus pandemic, new data show.

1 in 6 families w/kids don't have enough

To be honest, this just makes me want to donate more to his campaign.

FWIW, Warnock is a fantastic candidate and the Senate would be much better with his voice.

[Chris McDaniel @csmcdaniel]

Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock was arrested in 2002 for obstructing justice because... he insisted minors have a lawyer or a parent present when being questioned by police.

Investigators later apologized.

I owe much of who I am to the Army, my fellow Soldiers who had much to teach an overly wordy 20-ish junior officer, and to the great joy being able to serve something bigger than myself.

Happy Veterans Day to all of my brothers and sisters in arms.

[Ben Lee @BenLeeBOE]

If an Oregon county with 800K residents can do it, though - well, that's a different ballgame.

There will be a lot to learn and a lot of great elements to be applied for a mid-size city of 130K to get it done.

[Ben Lee @BenLeeBOE]

Really great development for Universal Pre-K to read while waiting/constantly refreshing Twitter for the final vote counts.

What this Oregon county’s “preschool for all” victory means for child care in America https://t.co/LNaDnlguxc via @voxdotcom

[Ben Lee @BenLeeBOE]

You can't build a prosperous community w/o supporting working families, and parents can't work w/o daycare. One of the big problems to date, however, has been scalability and solving for creating such a complex program. NYC can do it, but NYC is a nation-state unto itself.

[Ben Lee @BenLeeBOE]

Long line today, but it's been a long four years. Worth every minute to vote for @JoeBiden and the Democratic ticket.

Special thanks to all of the volunteers at Dolan and throughout Stamford - they're doing a great job running a smooth and safe vote for us all.

[City of Stamford @CityofStamford]

Stamford has 4 ballot drop box locations:

Government Center, Parking Garage, 888 Washington Boulevard

Harry Bennett Library, 115 Vine Road

Yerwood Center, 90 Fairfield Avenue

Lathon Wider Community Center, 34 Woodland Avenue

[Mark Pazniokas @CTMirrorPaz]

Absentee ballots in CT must be RECEIVED by 8 p.m. Tuesday, NOT POSTMARKED. So it's too late to mail one. Every community has a secure ballot drop box at town hall. Take your AB there -- or vote at the polls on Tuesday.
