John:
Please sign me up for the campaign.  And, let me suggest a focus in my case ... the innovation, tech-centered economy.  I am an eager volunteer because I believe I can help, in large part because my curriculum vitae which combines political/government experience with a deep dive into today's technology driven economy.  See the story on Barbara Comstock in The NY Times, .April 7, "A Job With Democrats, a Home in the G.O.P." featuring her interest in "technological innovation" and "empowering women."  As luck would have it, I am representing and helping organize a venture capital fund focused on women entrepreneurs and I can carry the story to Dixville Notch.
Data points on yours truly in this respect.

The innovation economy is, as per the Kaufmann Institute, the single most important source of new job creation in the U.S.  Thus, the thrust of the people and the political class (regional, local and state government) universally in favor of the Innovation Economy, including initiatives in financial aid, tax credits, education, immigration, regulatory reform and the like.  And, the enthusiasm is country-wide, not just confined to Blue states such as California, New York and Massachusetts.  In fact, U.S. private capital markets have, post The JOBS Act, experienced an 180° turn, see "The Makeover' (http://josephbartlettvc.com/2015/01/07/the-makeover/) all designed to help the entrepreneurs and early stage, high growth companies.  I would be inordinately pleased to go to work on events, fund raising, position papers, speeches and endorsements.
Best regards,
Joe

'Hint, hint' to any of the attorneys in the room. The guy seems like a legend."

Vice-Chancellor J. Travis Laster of the Delaware Chancery Court, referring to Joseph Bartlett, who testified as plaintiff Viamericas Corp.'s expert witness regarding investor rights in the venture capital context. Laster's suggestion was made to defendant Microvest I LP's expert witness, who himself referred to Bartlett as "a legend."
