I picked up my petition to run for the state senate on Friday afternoon. After knocking on doors this morning I stopped by a reception for Sen. Tim Burchett in the afternoon. I asked Tim if he minded if people could sign my petition if they wanted to. Not only was Tim kind enough to say yes, he was one of the first people to sign on it as well.
The reception was huge and I got great feedback. I have never really gotten a reception like that before. People were very kind and almost overly helpful. At times it was all I could do to keep track of my petition. People were at times lined up, eager to sign it and I was shaking hands and talking to about everyone on a wide range of issues. I probably got 40 names in about 20 minutes.
That was cool! The good people you meet make politics and running for office fun (sometimes it can be quite tiring). I really do like meeting and getting to know people. Real people. It is one of the best parts of the job.
But the day was all Burchett's and the event was packed. I am sure he was quite pleased.
