It was a really good feeling, but it made me very aware of the fact that I'm not as informed about local politics as I should be. The only election I had been following was for governor. Once I cast that vote, I stared at the rest of the names and public offices, and it hit me that I was only expecting about half of them to be there.
I definitely need to start keeping track of what's going on around here. I've matured a lot in the past 2 years, and I finally feel like I have a firm grasp on my political values. And I thought that I was fairly well-informed when it came to politics, but apparently, following the Louisiana gubernatorial race and the Democratic primaries don't equate to well-informed.
