Happy rainy day to my district of Southern Maine! More petition hubs are sprouting along the coast, and folks are already getting connected by the link I released yesterday to active ballot access petitions. Thank you to everyone who has filled out the survey to help get me onto the ballot! Every time someone does, we get one step closer to having term limits for members of Congress, among many other things. You can help keep the momentum going by sending the link to a friend who you think wants this!
I am now working to start putting events on the calendar where you all can meet (or reconnect!) with me and hear what I’m about from my own mouth instead of having to just read words on a screen. Look forward to these starting next weekend, and expect there to be fun things like chalk, playing balls, and other fun things for folks who want or need to bring kids (or who have stayed in good touch with their own inner child). At the moment this would include events in Portland, South Portland, Wiscasset, and Damariscotta. Also be ready to bring an item to be donated to the nearest food pantry at each of these events, if you are able, because when I said this campaign would do good the whole time we are running I absolutely meant it. Don’t see your town on this list? email me a lead on a venue in your town (indoors or outdoors, rain won’t stop me but it does make signing papers hard) at tristramforcongress.@gmail.com.
Speaking of, as of Friday, registered voters in Damariscotta, Newcastle, Nobleboro, Bremen, Bristol, Whitefield, Alna, and Jefferson will be able to visit S. Fernald’s Country Store on Main Street in Damariscotta to sign ballot access petitions.
Registered voters in Wiscasset, Westport, Edgecomb, Woolwich, Boothbay, Bath, and Alna again will be able to visit Panacea chowder house in Wiscasset starting on Monday.
Registered voters in Portland can visit Hi Fidelity Brewing Company on Anderson Street in Portland any day but Tuesday.
Registered voters in South Portland, Westbrook, Pownal, Saco, Brunswick, Dresden, and elsewhere please click here (link) to get in touch with the petitioners in your town (they are just normal people who will be very happy to meet you!).
Thank you all for all the support you have given me as we roll out this fascinating campaign for US Congress. I’m looking forward to seeing you all in public someday soon!
PS: I know at least one of my subscribers has friends who go swimming in the winter, so I’m passing along here that Spark Cycling in Brunswick is hosting a cold plunge to help fund ALS research this Saturday from 7am to noon at 29 Burbank Avenue. Someone I met canvassing told me about this event but I will be out of town!
