Well, today I went knocking on doors for the campaign. At first, I had some trepidation, but as I went to each house, I was amazed at the nice reception I got. People seem to be fed up with what is happening now, and they are willing to go for a change.
I realize name recognition is very important, and that's why campaigners go door to door to begin with. But I didn't count on getting such a welcome from the young homeowners. I guess they are feeling the pinch of a 32% increase in taxes. Most of them were aware of all the issues of the campaign. When I mentioned gypsy moths, or the illegal road or the mayor's salary increase, they all reacted the same way. They were not happy, and they wanted change. Luckily it was a beautiful day, and many homeowners were outside doing the lawn or chatting with neighbors.
Yesterday, I went to a fashion show to benefit the Jackson Educational Foundation. Mike Kafton looked great in the tux he modeled. It was a fun afternoon, and I won a few things in the raffle. I really had a wonderful time. It was all done for the Jackson Schools, and my School Board background came shining through.
There is an amazingly busy six weeks ahead. Coffees, meetings, and campaign "stuff" will fill almost all my days. But I plod onward with the goal of changing this township by getting the "A Team" elected. Row A all the way!

Well they're lucky to have someone so level headed trying to unravel the mess. The more people who meet you, the more who will love you.
