I’m starting this post by saying thank you to my father for collecting more than 80 signatures for me today, and to another old friend for signing up to collect a few more and possibly recruit some more friends into circulating! I am now in crunch time until the deadline on the 26th, and my campaign will be focused entirely on me putting myself and what volunteers we have out in our communities to meet as many of you as possible. Tomorrow I will be in Sanford, a town that I don’t know I’ve ever stopped in before, and I’ll be interested to see what happens there.
Having attended two such events in the last couple of days I have now learned that candidate Q&As are not a good way for me to meet as many people as we need to carry the campaign onto the ballot, so unless a lot more volunteers sign up tomorrow I will be canceling the reservation at Curtis Memorial Library for this coming Saturday. They will resume once voting for me is actually a choice that people have or once I have another person coordinating and publicizing them.
I wanted to do something witty here where I ranked all the temporary signs (mostly campaign signs) littering South Portland’s public right-of-way by how comfortable they’d be to sit on but it’s way, way past my bedtime so that’ll have to wait for another day. I did take lots of pictures of them, though. And as you can see above, now my name was on another sign today, and I didn’t even have to make this one!
