WASHINGTON – Doug Peterson drove 1,100 miles from Houston to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, last year to canvass in frigid temperatures for presidential candidate Joe Biden.
He volunteered relentlessly for him across Houston and attended countless Zoom meetings with other organizers. When media outlets named Biden the winner of the presidential election in November, Peterson’s mind immediately raced to attending the inauguration. Those hopes were quickly dashed.

WASHINGTON – Doug Peterson drove 1,100 miles from Houston to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, last year to canvass in frigid temperatures for presidential candidate Joe Biden.
He volunteered relentlessly for him across Houston and attended countless Zoom meetings with other organizers. When media outlets named Biden the winner of the presidential election in November, Peterson’s mind immediately raced to attending the inauguration. Those hopes were quickly dashed.
Wednesday, he’ll watch the inauguration with other activists on a TV in south Houston. At 69, Peterson can’t risk traveling during the coronavirus pandemic. And the threat of violence at the hands of overzealous supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump snuffed any remaining thrill of the event.
