Stop and Shop and Then Some

Today, Bob and I went to Stop and Shop to meet people and get our message across. It was incredible to see the reception we got. The dissatisfaction with the current Mayor and Council is rampant. We both spoke to many people. One even asked me if I was an incumbent. When I said no, she told me we had her vote for sure. The incumbents appear not to be in good grace right now.

I have received several phone calls about the negative phone poll the other team is conducting right now, and it is very damaging to the instigators. People are appalled at the misleading and slanted content of the questions. I have tried to keep my campaigning on a positive note. I am telling people why they should vote for me and my running mates, not why the the other guys are bad. Anyone who serves their community, even if I disagree with their viewpoint, is doing a good thing. I have given my heart and soul to being honest and above board during this and all my campaigns for the school board in the past, and that is why I was reelected eight times. I wish others would do the same.

Campaigning is tough. It is tiring, but it's worth it if we can establish a balance in town government.
