The first is New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigning in disgrace over a prostitution scandal. Now I don’t think there was any actual […]

We’ve been getting some great press this week, starting Sunday with this story on WINK News. Today the latest issue of Florida Weekly featured a profile in Fifteen Minutes. Why even the Naples Daily News was kind enough to post our last press release verbatim.

As I go out and talk with people not so much as a candidate, but in my everyday activities, there’s a question I constantly ask myself “Who is truly representing them in Washington DC?”

Great news, we are now accepting donations online!
As much as I hate the idea of having a flashing credit card logo on site dedicated to chasing the merchants of corruption out of the temples of democracy (metaphorically speaking, of course!) I have to confess I am learning the unfortunate necessity of having to ask for […]

Yesterday we shot some of our first day of going door to door to get the nearly 5,000 signatures need to get on the November Ballot. It’s either that or pay over $6,600 which doesn’t seem very democratic to me…

At this point, the page itself is still bare-bones, but we are finally getting the text of this campaign’s platform down. Over the next week or so, I’ll be soliciting feedback about what’s important to […]

Our Financial Report from last quarter now is up at the FEC website.
We raised $3,700.00 and spent $3,015.71, slightly short of the $5,000 goal we set for the end of December. However, we have since crossed that threshold. It’s a modest start, but all in all I’m pleased, even if it’s apparently not enough to pique the interest of the News […]
