Between 2002 and now, I:<br /><ul><li>Got married</li><li>Worked in the U.S. Senate for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Talent">Jim Talent</a> </li><li>Moved from D.C. back to St. Louis to work for Sen. Talent's campaign<br /></li><li>Got my first non-political <a href="http://www.stlrbc.org/">job</a></li><li>Appeared on the <a href="http://www.stlamerican.com/articles/2007/05/31/news/local_news/localnews02.txt">front page</a> of the <span style="font-style: italic;">St. Louis American</span>, which I've enjoyed reading since I was a child</li><li>Was named one of the St. Louis Business Journal's <a href="http://johncombestblog.com/2007/07/17/business-journals-30-under-30-shamed-dogan/">30 Under 30</a></li></ul>AND I just kicked off my <a href="http://www.electdogan.com/">campaign </a>for State Representative in Missouri's 88th District, with Sen. Talent there to say some really nice things about me. WHEW!!<br /><br />Unlike five years ago, I don't have to write about the kickoff, I can just show you the video from <a href="http://www.pubdef.net/">PubDef</a>, which includes cameos from two of St. Louis' other prominent political bloggers, <a href="http://www.johncombest.com/">John Combest</a> and <a href="http://www.archcitychronicle.com/">Dave Drebes</a>.<br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cRaUkwUeCWc"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cRaUkwUeCWc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></embed></object>Shamedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06113389960486079923noreply@blogger.com
