Came across some campaign material from my 1994 run for City Council in Santa Cruz, CA. One my top issues was that the government should be reachable by email 😂

Screenshot showing text: "To increase communication between the people and their elected representatives. I would like the City to make a concerted effort not only to listen to the concerns of the people, but to actively recruit the opinions of those who are poorly represented in Santa Cruz. Alternative communication mediums like electronic mail over the intemet offer convenient means for many of the computer-literate people in Santa Cruz. Currently, the President and Vice-President of the United States are reachable over the internet. I think our city representatives are next in line."
