Thank you, thank you, thank you! More than 900 of you have signed valid petition forms to allow me to qualify for the ballot without paying a qualifying fee. This grass roots effort is important for a number of reasons; First, our team of volunteers was able to meet more than 1200 of you, of whom we heard loudly and clearly from about what’s important in your lives. Secondly, this effort saves over $1900 in campaign contributions that don’t have to be raised or that can be spent communicating our message of strength, energy and vision. Finally, these valid petitions show a broad base of support across party lines. Sure, we met stubborn Republicans who simply refused to sign a petition for a Democrat but they were a very small minority. Here’s where we ended up:
Democrats 62%
Republicans 31% NPA or Other 7% This broad base of support is important because when elected, Michelle will be committed to represent everyone in the district...Republicans, Democrats, No Party, and even those not registered to vote! |
