After many weeks of very hard work, isolation from family(and many of our friends too, basically anyone NOT in Raytown), and some good times we have officially won the race for Alderman in Ward 1 and Shane is now a part of our City Council in Raytown.
We stood for a solid 13 hours at the polls working our butts off with the help of our wonderful wonderful friends in the freezing and dark cold to the sunny afternoon convincing our residents(and an occasional opposition worker) to vote for us and for progress in Raytown. Without giving up or giving in we withstood it all and came out on top.
Anyway, everyone who reads this blog probably knows how we’ve been campaigning hard for a while and I’d like to make an official thanks to the people who helped us so much.
Joe Creamer-for pushing us to keep going and do more, for helping us get in contact with so many business owners, and for being so supportive. Your help was seriously priceless. Thank you so much.
Mike Downing-for getting us all the materials we needed, for working wonderfully at the polls all day, and helping us find the people we needed to talk to. Thank you so much.
Terry Tuggle-for being so encouraging, and helping us pursue our goals. Your name alone brought us alot of support because you’re known and loved by everyone! Thank you for your help handing out fliers, calling residents and supporting us as a treasurer.
Sheryl-for so faithfully and cheerfully showing up EVERY Saturday to walk tirelessly the streets of Raytown come rain or shine or other things like my terrible clumsiness…..hehe to get our fliers out to every door. We love you so much and you really stepped up through this whole process and blessed us.
The Irish Pub-Thank you soo much for your support and allowing us to use your building and helping us so much with raffle and providing chili. Our fundraisers were a huge success because of you and all of your staff and wonderful customers. Thank you!
Bickering Tree-for your support and also for cheering up Shane. You were really a bright spot in our campaign.
Elise, Amy, Ashley, Ashlee, Josh, Richie, Nathan, Jonathon, Katherine, Richard, Dan and Char, and anyone else I’m forgetting-thank you so much for helping us with fliers. Every little bit that you guys did helped us out sooo much.
Joe and Lauren-thank you for working the polls and getting our signs out there!
Ben Felder-for keeping us in the print!
Benetti’s- for your support and great coffee. We couldn’t have done it without that!
Ben Helt-for helping organize the watch party. It was awesome!
Peggy and Kendra-for keeping the scary people away and staying with me through hot and cold at the polls!
And all our friends, family and supporters who helped us get through all the craziness and somehow come out on top. Thank you so much and we love you all!
