Reply To: 6:06 AM…I already voted

Flatbusher,

I don’t live in the big city. Candidates for Congress, US Senate, State legislature have been door knocking every weekend since Labor Day. Our home has rec’d visits from every candidate for those offices as well as local elected officials supporting them.

I personally when out 2 Sundays in my own Town Council District door knocking and handing out campaign literature.

It is much easier to do this in a town of single family homes, than trying to access apartment buildings or gated condo developments.

In 2015 when I ran for town office, I personally called on or telephoned 90% of the registered voters (The other 10 per cent live in a nursing home or assisted living community who does not allow access). This afternoon I’ll work a shift at my local polling place greeting voters and pressing the flesh. Those of us not up for election this year still make a showing to keep our name, and face in the voters mind for next year. Small town politics is different, my Town Council campaign expenses last year were less than $600 and there are 6500 registered voters in my district.
