Got another quarter-century kiddo over the weekend. We were thrilled to host the birthday party and Scrabble tournament. Andrew requested a gourmet hotdog bar. We even had a baby show up with her parents (geese, our friend’s kids are having babies). We love you, Little D. Never lose your love of life, your infectious laugh, and your joy of serving others.
Ballots have dropped. Community members are voting. Polls close on Tuesday, November 4th at 7PM. The Candidate continues to move forward boldly, with confidence of a front-runner. Stopped at the Fire Department open house to shake some babies and kiss some hands. The damn wind this fall has made me wish we bought more sandbags. Received the endorsement from the Weld County GOP. Had some mailers drop in to mailboxes.
Just a collection of things from the past week. Mostly campaigning, a few work related things. Sadly, couldn’t join Jen on the radio for the Lifestories interview, with the FCC fair-time policy in effect. But I was there for mortal support and picked up another endorsement. A second endorsement from the regional director of LULAC. I missed snagging pictures at the final meet-and-greet/fundraiser for the season. Solid turnout, and captured more voters! Few other events and people from the past week.
Very full schedules, very few photos, and the campaign marches on. Honestly it was an ugly week, with the ugliness of people really shining through. Attacked on all sides from some very small-minded and very angry people. We remain about the fray, earning another endorsement, this time from the former mayor of Evans and GARA. The recording of the League of Women Voters also posted, so people have enthusiastically expressed their support for the candidate. We celebrated the Genesis Project with the family on Thursday. Saturday was spent in Erie at the Brewfest. Missed getting any photos, but at least our tent didn’t blow away.
Well, September has ended. So much to report, so much going on. The campaign continues on, with a forum with the League of Women Voters last week at City Hall. I was the adult in the room against my opponents, and clearly the candidate that was head and shoulders above my opponents. There was an invite only groundbreaking for the west Greeley project that was well-attended. The Jobs of Hope dinner was well attended and pretty fun. Sponsored the United Way tailgate before the Homecoming UNC game. We celebrated OCKTOBREW Fest in downtown. Look at those campaign buttons!
