#NativeVote18 Candidate cards

Question. Trahant Reports is producing cards highlighting #NativeVote18 candidates, every one on my list. Two years ago I did this and posted one a day on social media. I am wondering … if they were printed and sold, are folks interested in a complete pack? Or just on social media? Drop me a line.

So far … #NativeVote18 list includes fifty-plus running for state legislatures and 15 for Congress & statewide offices.
