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.

Testing 1-2-3

On Friday Deedie Beard, longtime Kootenai County elections manager, hosted a demonstration and accuracy test of the two automated ballot counting machines for candidates and city clerks. The county elections department will oversee the elections for Post Falls, Coeur d'Alene, Rathdrum and Hayden on November 6.
On Monday, Nov. 5 you can still vote early at your respective city halls from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. but on election day in Post Falls voting takes place only at the Armory on Seltice Way and the library on Spokane Street, from 8 am - 8 pm.
The county website will be updated throughout the evening on November 6 with results so log onto http://www.kcgov.us/elections/results/data/2007_CityOverall_Results.asp

One Week!

One week from today voters will go to the polls, at least those who've not already cast an absentee ballot. If you're checking in here you're one of the people who know there's an election and no doubt realize what an important election it is for Post Falls. With two new seats and a vacant seat to be filled you'll be electing 1/2 of the council in one election. I'm asking you to vote on November 6 but also to spread the word with your friends and neighbors. An enthusiastic turnout on election day will be all the reward candidates hope for our efforts.

Out in the neighborhoods

The past three weekends I've had the pleasure of not only fabulous weather but of meeting a large number of people in a large number of neighborhoods throughout Post Falls. It's been good to get out and walk in the sunshine and hear from you what your concerns and visions are for this community. I'm reminded again of what a great town we live in and will do what needs to be done on the city council to see that the next generation has cause to feel the same way. If I don't come knocking on your door, give me a call or send an email with any questions or comments!
