I’ve read most of the local bloggers, both liberal and conservative. I’ve read the Sentinel, the Delta County Independent, Westword, the Denver Post, all in-coming E-mail, and yet noting has inspired me today. I’m attending a League of Women Voter’s legislative update later today, but I can’t write about that until it is over.
Yesterday I met with Gi Moon, Executive Director of the local homeless shelter, Homeward Bound. She always needs financial support and/or volunteers, so if you are looking for a way to spend some time, check out their website—linked below. Gi is a wonderful woman. I first met her when we worked together at the Incubator.
Bill Grant and Claudia Crowell sponsored a wonderful fundraiser for me this past week. Thank you to all who attended, and especially those who left behind envelopes filled with well wishes and donations. Rich Alward, the last Democrat to run for this seat, also left lots of campaign advice, including lists of people who supported him, sample press releases, his analysis of what he might have done differently were he campaigning today, including the budget he wished he had.
I’m still the invisible candidate. I’ve challenged my campaign team to raise $30,000 by March 31 so that we can start printing candidate brochures, yard signs, and producing radio and TV ads. So far we’ve raised about 10% of what we need, with less than six weeks to go. The Republicans are going to laugh at our campaign if we don’t have at least as much in the bank as they do when quarterly financial reports are due. That is, they’ll laugh at us if we are even on their radar screen. I’ve introduced myself to local Democrats recently who didn’t know I was running, despite having a lot of support from the Grand Junction and Delta Democratic Parties. We need money to change that, especially since the Supreme Court has ruled that money is speech. Please donate what you can by using the ActBlue link on this page. It doesn’t have to be much. If every Democrat in Mesa County donated just $10, we’d have all the money we’d need to run the campaign that Rich Alward wished he could run.
