520    "50 percent memoir, 50 percent advice manual, and 100 
       percent heart." — The New York Times      Somebody's
       Gotta Do It  is a humorous (and instructive) memoir about 
       a progressive woman who runs for  very  small-town elected
       office in a red county — and wins (yay!)—and  
       then  realizes the critical importance of the job.   Back 
       in the fall of 2016, before casting her vote for Hillary 
       Clinton, Adrienne Martini, a knitter, a runner, a mom, and
       a resident of rural Otsego County in snowy upstate New 
       York, knew who her Senators were, wasn't too sure who her 
       Congressman was, and had only vague inklings about who her
       state reps were. She's always thought of politicians as . 
       . . oily. Then she spent election night curled in bed, 
       texting her husband, who was at work, unable to stop 
       shaking. And after the presidential inauguration, she 
       reached out to Dave, a friend of a friend, who was 
       involved in the Otsego County Democratic Party. Maybe she 
       could help out with phone calls or fundraising? But Dave's
       idea was: she should run for office. Someone had to do it.
       And so, in the year that 26,000 women (up from 920 the 
       year before) contacted Emily's List about running for 
       offices large and small, Adrienne Martini ran for the 
       District 12 seat on the Otsego County Board. And became 
       one of the 14 delegates who collectively serve one rural 
       American county, overseeing a budget of $130 million. 
       Highway repair? Soil and water conservation? Child safety?
       Want wifi? Need a coroner?  It turns out, local office 
       matters. A lot.
