Is where you live gaining stature?
I'll go first, chiming in from Arizona. My take is that we are indeed gaining stature - we have become a battleground state and will supposedly be fiercely contested going forward, though what exactly does "fiercely contested" mean in the age of Covid? We also have a Mayor - Kate Gallego, Democrat and the Phoenix Mayor - who has made numerous TV media appearances in regards to the bumbled Arizona reopening.
I'd even say that due to our bumbling, Trumppuppet Governor Ducey, we have even gained notoriety - but not the positive kind - with our high Covid numbers since our reopen/partial close.
But what about where you live? And just to be clear, stature does not have to be Covid-related. Rob
