Door to Door in Snow Boots

Steve, my campaign manager, and I were just as surprised as everyone else at how long spring is taking to arrive! But, when it comes to meeting voters we sure weren’t going to let a little snow stand in our way.

OK, as I had to push Steve’s car after we got stuck I realized it wasn’t just a little snow!

For the past 3 weeks we’ve been going door to door and talking to voters throughout the entire district. In fact, we’ve talked to voters in every precinct in the district, and found some very long driveways along the way. This past Saturday we drove 200 miles to talk to voters from Marshall to Schoolcraft and everywhere in between. I just think it’s that important to meet voters, look families in the eyes and listen to their concern and their desires.

I have been thrilled at the support voters have already offered me. We’re building our list of yard sign locations so we can come back in the summer and supporters can proudly display their support of our campaign. It has certainly been clear that jobs and the economy is the main concern on voters’ minds.

I am so glad they feel that as someone who started a small business I have the right experience to go to work for their family in Lansing. I look forward to each day that gives me a chance to meet more voters and talk to more people.
