The Campaign Trail

This Thanksgiving I am thankful that I have so many wonderful friends, and a fantastic family, that support me in my re-election campaign.  I'm running my second City Council campaign in less than a year and you figured that I would be a pro by now!  The truth is that running a campaign is still a busy, stressful, exciting time and it's time best shared with those that continue to build you up, as well as those that help brainstorm new ideas and renewed approaches to municipal governance.

This Thanksgiving weekend I've had many people volunteer to display lawn signs on their property.  In fact, I managed to disperse all 50 of my signs throughout the City of Thompson in less than 48 hours!  I've also had family and friends volunteer to distribute pamphlets in mailboxes throughout the City and I'll tell you, I am more than thankful for their hard work.  Even the weather has decided to come on side, we've been blessed with absolutely beautiful weather this weekend - it sure helps with volunteer recruitment!

Door knocking is turning into one of my favourite campaign activities.  Although it is slow-going, it is always insightful to talk to residents about the on goings of our City.  It's a great venue for idea-generation, and I truly appreciate the residents that take a few minutes out of their day to chat with me at their doorstep.
