As we continue collecting ballot signatures leading up to
filing deadline next Tuesday I continue meeting HD41-B citizens, discovering
the vast variety of views on life. Another consideration is how major party
candidates, not having to struggle through a district seeking voter support for
ballot access, miss a critical aspect of campaigning “getting up close and
personal” with the voters.
This experience of collecting 500 signatures for ballot
access has enriched this already sensitive candidate’s view of the power and
responsibility of elective public office being an advocate for our Constitution
and preserving our Republic.
Although I would eventually travel the communities in
HD421-B during the campaign season, meeting the voters; after a week of meeting
citizens from all political views in the district, I personally thank previous
legislative sessions for forcing me into the neighborhoods as a prerequisite for
ballot access; I am a better candidate for the experience.
