Thank You!


The dust has settled and the last ballots are counted. I'm honored to be a newly-elected city council member for Post Falls. I will join my fellow newly-elected councilors Skip Hissong and Linda Wilhelm in January 2008. Thank you again!

Mark Your Ballot!

Show Time!

I'm heading out the door shortly to participate in that great local tradition of candidates staking out street corners at busy intersections and waving to cars passing by, hoping that our presence will remind people to vote today. The temperature is holding at 29 degrees at the moment ... brrrrrrrrrr.

This evening Bert and I will be where we've been every election night for nearly a decade, at RedLion Templin's Resort for the Post Falls Community Volunteers gathering. There's a big screen tv and computer for seeing the live feed of results as the county begins tabulating ballots at 8 p.m.

It's going to be a long, eventful and important day in Post Falls. Did I mention that you need to VOTE? :)

Thanks!

Election Eve

Here it is...we're just hours and a good night's sleep away from the polls opening in the morning at 8 a.m. I'm excited and nervous about the day ahead. As a candidate I've done all I can do to get my information and positions out to the public. We've placed signs and ads and knocked on hundreds of doors in the neighborhoods. In Post Falls there were two candidate forums, one that was rebroadcast twice a day for over two weeks.
Now it's up to you my friends to really make the system work by exercising your right to vote.
Thank you for your support and your faith in my abilities to perform the duties of a member of the city council.
