Countdown to election - 100 days
I remember when that number was at 500, oh by gone days...
Wondering how the election is going? Well to be honest, no portion of the campaign is faltering these days. Specifically, the brochure is being given a make over from its June incarnation to a much more professional and appealing appearance. Having now pinpointed how many brochures and signs we want and where from, we should be collecting our key materials relatively soon. The campaign account will soon be opened, and most of my questions about advertising have been answered. The website will also soon be in development and be ready for the launch date. The press release is nearly finished and waiting for observation by those in my immediate circle. Finally, four points have been selected as my main platform. Hopefully, they'll appeal to a large swath of the electorate.
As of this posting, one of the few things I am waiting for are the nomination papers. Unfortunately, they won't be out until September. I guess planning for months towards this election has helped me have this small grace period where I'm not too stressed, and there is little left to do. There's a reason I'm feeling more confident too.
With just 100 days remaining until voting day, I feel as if I have learned quite about our electoral process, and how to get a campaign up and running from the ground up. While there have been times of great doubt, I am looking forward to the experience of campaigning from door to door and advocating sensible, progressive policies for our community. It'll be a fun, new challenge, and quite frankly I can't wait to hit the pavement. I can't help but my smile for following my dreams.
In the words of the fighter, Jack Layton - "Together we can do this!"
