Today, I am the possessor of a couple of really unpleasant things: a bad cold and an utter lack of sleep from maintaining the spinning of all my campaign “plates.” But today is still a good day, because I learned I also possess something positive–my first two votes.
An e-mailer from Shorewood took a moment to let me know he and his dad had marked my name on their just-completed absentee ballots. So, let’s see…that makes two! Add in my own vote plus my wife’s and we’re talking 4 votes. Of course, the grumpy attitude my sleep deprivation has produced might make that fourth vote a little shaky by February 5! But all in all, knowing there are people out there, even in Shorewood, who are finding my Web site and learning enough about me to give me their support and, more importantly, their vote, is extremely gratifying.
I believe I’ve got something unique to offer our town. I’m running for judge because I want to do my part with my talents, some of them God-given and some of them the result of the great education, upbringing, friendships and opportunities my community has given me. I’m not cut out to sit back and watch others do the important work of our town. I’m ready to take on the responsibility.
Four votes will likely not be enough. But it’s a darn good start!
