One of the fun “thinking outside the box” campaign
activities is Halloween; where our campaign drives around the district in the
campaign bus distributing candy to the kids and campaign business cards to the
parents. October 31, 2012 was our 5th year of participating in
Halloween.
As during last year we purchased Utz brand Halloween
pretzels; marketing switch from the previous years of candy distribution. The
adventure started at 5:30PM in St. Anthony, traveling to New Brighton, Columbia
Heights, Hilltop and concluded in Columbia Heights at 8:30PM. Of the 150 or so
adults we had direct contact with only 3 were declaring a negative reaction to
our efforts. Any candidate would faint at that approval ratio.
Far to many positive stories to share on this post, but one
specific example will provide an idea of the mood in the streets. One father
politely declined our pretzel package stating “…I am already voting for Tim,
give my pretzels to someone else who could use it…”
Want to help change political as usual in St. Paul; then
donate in the closing days of the campaign season at www.timutzforhouse.com. Nadine and I have personally invested
thousands of dollars supporting the campaign in 2012 and could use help in the
closing days for campaign bus fuel and Election Day costs.
