Danny McAuliffe
With just weeks out from the election, every candidate is doing something over the weekend.
For some, the crowds are growing, and the number of doors knocked is increasing.
Here’s what some pols are doing on Saturdays and Sundays ahead of Nov. 6.

Taking care of our environment IS taking care of our economy. This is true in Stuart and every other city across our state— red, blue, or purple. #BringItHome pic.twitter.com/MlQq1lqjrm

To those who serve and have served our country, thank you! You are heroes, you are not forgotten, and you are not left behind when you return home.
