I have a vote...at least one!

Someone called me up and told me they are going to vote for me! So I have at least 3 including my own and my husband's! Yes, I know that isn't many but it is one more than I had yesterday. Truthfully, the fact that someone took the time to call me to tell me they are voting for me really made my day.

I have not campaigned virtually at all and I didn't make the speed campaigning last night because in between picking up a child and dropping off a child, I decided to make dinner and then after picking up a child I had to go to Menards to get a refrigerator lightbulb because I am tired of groping around in the dark looking for my yogurt! I know what you are thinking, what is more important, light in the refrigerator or winning the election? Quite frankly, I would have been so late by then, light won out.

I have put my summaries in all of the free publications, the District's, the Sun Post and Channel 12 and I also plan to be interviewed on Election Night although it will be after the polls closed. My pseudo campaign manager, daughter will enjoy the experience, which is why I decided to do it.

Also, the fact that I have not campaigned, does not mean I do not care or that I don't intend to give it my absolute best if I am elected, it is just that time and money are short right now. I DO expect to have time after the first of the year, money is another thing entirely, but really, there are a lot of things that are more important.

Just in case you don't know this already, my two key reasons for running are that I REALLY think that the Eastern cities like Brooklyn Center and Crystal need a voice on the board. I actually had a guy say to me during the referendum campaign (he was from one of the Western Cities) when I told him I was from Brooklyn Center "Are you even in the district?" YES I said, I am and I'm proud to be in the district!! I think Brooklyn Center in particular is under represented and it needs some voice. Secondly, I think the district needs to be re-united after the school closings and I want to help with that.

So, in summary, if you are going to vote for me, would you tell a friend? Also, if you wanted to make a sign, I wouldn't object. I have no money for signs but I always think homemade is best anyway. The things my kids have made for me are much more treasured than the store bought items.

Thanks!
