Merry Christmas to Everyone!!

WE'RE NUMBER ONE!!

Today, the election commission picked the order on the ballot. We are number one on the ballot. Every bit helps and this is a great advantage over the other candidates. We out worked the competition by the amount of signatures we collected by going door to door and now we are above the competition on the ballot. This is going to be an exciting campaign.

New Campaign Headquarters

We have officially moved our headquarters into a great, new space. We now occupy office space at 425 W. Galena; which is on the corner of Blackhawk and Galena -- across from New England Church. Our banner is up for westbound traffic and soon our other banner will be displayed for eastbound traffic as well. We are very fortunate to find such a wonderful location, with a great landlord, on a tight budget; but it goes to show that there is support for our campaign.

Christmas Gift Mart

This past weekend we had a Christmas Gift Mart. The precious moments items that the campaign was given; we asked for a $2 donation an item. What a huge success!! We had more people that I could even imagine and we brought in enough to pay for our rent through the April 7th election -- just fantastic. People were very excited about being able to buy gifts for such a low amount and we met many people from the neighborhood. Thank you to all the volunteers for helping out for the event -- without you it would not have been such a wonderful event.

I appreciate all of you who have helped out during this campaign-- from the parades to the flea markets and going door-to-door. Thank you so much! I couldn't have done it without you and we still have three more months to go until April 7th.

I hope everyone has a very, Merry Christmas this year and I look forward to working with all of you for a victory on April 7th! We can do it.
