I didn't get much done last week since it was raining so much and I had run out of my campaign cards (1000 of them!). I've got another box of 1000 now and decent weather so I'm back at it. I got through one more small neighborhood today and several businesses. It felt good to be back out walking, knocking and talking. I'm actually going to miss going door to door asking people to consider me for the Joshua City Council.
It's been a fun challenge:
"Will anyone be home here?"
"Will they be receptive?"
"Will they be engaging and willing to talk?"
I ask myself these questions and it keeps me wanting to go to just one more house to find out the answers.
I spoke with a business owner today who was adamant about not getting involved in political things because "all politicians are crooks." I'm sure he didn't believe me that I agreed with him and that was exactly why I'm running for office now. I should have mentioned my stance on term limits. Perhaps that would have at least given him something to think about. My next post will have more info on that and several other issues.
