$5 Contributions and Petition Signatures Update

03/01/2010 08:12 PM

Today is March 1^st and the Secretary of State has not yet posted the petition signature requirements for candidates. Hopefully that data will be available soon. There is a notation that the first day to file is April 26^th. At this time we have already gathered many hundred signatures but desire a few more to allow for bad signatures.

On the $5 Contribution Forms for Clean Elections, that goal has been met with a generous leeway. With 57 more days to go until April 26^th the campaign is in *very* good shape.

Az City + AJ Parades

Three generations rode in the Arizona City Daze Parade this morning. Ms. Cadie Pratt, her dad, Steven, and his dad, Bryan waived to an enthusiastic crowd. Cadie was the belle - at only 2-1/2 years old she loves smiling and blowing kisses and looks forward to her own campaign in 2030.

Meanwhile Janice and I drove her car in the Apache Junction Lost Dutchman's Day parade. We were entry 44 among more than one hundred. The streets were jam packed with residents and winter visitors. There also seemed to be a lot of people headed to the rodeo grounds.

It's another great day in the disrict to get out and shake hands.
