Welcome!

Welcome to our campaign blog. The past week has been an incredible success. After winning the convention last Tuesday, we have been busy setting up our campaign operation. We have received so many phone calls and emails of support and I just wanted to take the time to thank each of you for your incredible support....it's really touching.

This week our goal is to get the campaign qualified for funding from the Citizens' Election Program (CEP). As you may know, our new campaign finance laws are set up so that if we raise $11,250 in contributions of between $5 - $100, the campaign will qualify for approximately $60,000 from the CEP. We need 225 people from within the 32nd District to write check to us in order to qualify but so far we have been very successful. People from all over the district have been sending us their contributions and last night we had a very successful (despite the threat of an ice storm) fundraiser at the Watertown Golf Club. We need to get some more checks in order to qualify for the CEP, but we hope to have that done by the end of the week.

We will be updating this blog regularly with news from the campaign trail and interesting stories from around the 32nd Senate District, so check back often!
