Early Adopters?

With all of the come-from-behind dark-horse candidates, who are (in some cases only just) getting national attention, I was wondering if anyone (else) had any stories of liking (or even just knowing about) these candidates "before they were cool." Whether it's someone you knew/knew of from, say, local politics before they moved up, or, hey, you just got on the right email list somehow (no kidding, this happened to me with Andrew Gillum, and I have never lived in Florida!), I'm wondering if anyone else had the fun of seeing a candidate they'd known and loved for a while come into their own.

Yeah, I feel for the Al Franken stans! (And OMG, my heart just hurts for the one who was all calling Franken's office to remind him about self-care. I mean, if the candidates I love get elected in this round that is the sort of thing I would totally do.)
