We have hit the 2 month mark for our campaign. And we are still afloat ;-) I shared a belief when we launched back on March 11th. I believe there are blue dots (DFLer’s) on the map in western Minnesota. I’ve got good news. There are more blue dots than I believed. All we have to do now is connect those dots. We’ve spent the first two months listening to voters. We’ve been taking notes. We’ve been creating connections. One of the core values of this campaign is work hard/play hard. The only way we win is if we outwork everyone else. While having some fun along the way. Here are the numbers from the first 8 weeks:
18 counties out of 38 visited
Almost $32,000 raised
100’s of face to face conversations
1 cool lookin’ boat
We believe western Minnesota needs leadership that meets people where they are at. We'll be bringing this rig to lakes, landings & events across the district all summer. If you see us out-n-about, snap a pic, give us a wave, or better yet a ✌️for VICTORY.
We're hitting the road & the water with a message that is loud, & proud & purple. WE CAN DO BETTER.
We spent this weekend celebrating Minnesota’s inland walleye/pike Opener. Got to catch some walleye, pike, bass & crappie. Hope you were able to get out & enjoy all western Minnesota has to offer.
We are hitting the open road again this week. We will be in Morris, MN on Thursday, May 15th for some Stevens County DFL Dinner Conversations. It will be held at the Morris American Legion Hall.
Our next stops
May 15th - Stevens County DFL Dinner Conversations
May 17th - SD 9 DFL Business Convention
May 20th - MN DFL Listening Tour
$50k by the end of May
Click here to help us hit our goal of raising $50k by the end of May. We really, really want to start planning some fish frys, but we really need to hit the $50,000 raised mark before we can execute the Reel Talk Tour.
Thank you for all the support & keep up the good work!
